[QUOTE="GRG, post: 2753066, member: 100299"] I am looking at some input as far as why you choose the Savage actions you choose? I have a model 11 and a model 111 both with standard bolt face. I have done some work to both, truing bolt head and locking lugs, turning firing pins and bushing bolts to reduce slop as well as truing bolt face. New trigger as well as built stocks. My real question would be is there one more desirable than the other. I like the center feed mag on mine as well as the fact that the mag tucks up and the rifle can be carried at that balancing point while hunting. Mine are top bolt release, 11 is a short action, I'm thinking they are the 90's era. I will Probably do an Origin action some time later this year but most definitely will stay with a savage shank barrel from here on out for builds. The short action and mag will work with most every thing I do but will keep this long action around in case I do build one rifle that needs a little more space. A blind mag would be fine as well. Let me know your thoughts especially if you feel there is a better Savage action to work with. Primary use is hunting and carrying, Bench shooting for fun and Varminting so switching stocks and barrels is key for these. I shoot a few thousand round a year but that's in all my guns, not a competition shooter. I do all my own work as well. Thank You. Glenn [/QUOTE]
