[QUOTE="efw, post: 261060, member: 4841"] Barrel brand: ER Shaw (got as kit through Brownells) length: came in 24", cut to 22" w/ recessed target crown profile: Heavy Magnum coating: Cerakote barreled action, scope bases/rings Action brand: Savage model: 110 Brake brand: none... doesn't need it!! Stock brand: Savage laminate (The stock was nice when I got the rifle, but had a lot of wear so I stripped it, added a good recoil pad, and am refinishing with hand-rubbed oil) color: Green/Brown Bottom metal: blind mag Cartridge: 338'06 A-Square Trigger: Reworked factory Scope: Elite 3200 2-7x32mm w/ firefly reticle Scope base and rings: Warne steel bases/perm attach rings, low height Smith if already chosen: ME!- DIY project to help w/ cabin fever this winter Expected weight of rig without scope and mount: ? Approximate expected cost without scope and mounts: $800 I'm building this as a distraction from the shack nasties this winter. I bought the rifle last March and have been messing with it since... both on my bench and in my mind. I came across the Brownell's kit a while ago and that was the deciding factor. Just too cheap and "made to order" for me to pass up. I've been accumulating black bear preference points here in Michigan for a few years and I'll take this with me to da UP when I seek to fill that tag. It was that trip I had in mind when I was pondering what to build. It'll be a nice rifle for elk in timber as well. If this one goes as well as I expect next winter I'd like to take on a nearly identical DIY project. It'll start with a Remington 700 action and the ER Shaw short-chambered 338 RUM barrel that Brownell's offers. I'd finish-ream it to the Edge rather than the shorter RUM.
