I was afraid you were going to say that. With hay prices, taxes, and kids school tuition looming my build funds are getting a little low. I would like to get everything put together and shooting soon. Scope will have to wait till this October when funds become available again.

Just a quick update on my little project. Have all the parts except the muzzle break and new stock. Helped a guy out and bought his colt police 38 special in nickel. He was out of work and needed money. Figure he can buy it back once he is working again. Anyway, question for you all. How...

Got home today and found that my parts were all delivered. have the barrel,trigger, bolt head. need to pick up the go-no go gauges and i think i will be set. should i have the muzzle break threaded and installed before i swap everything out, also what break would anyone recomend.

which stock did you go with. I have been looking but have not figured out what i want yet.

I grabbed on off NUMRICH site that you sent me. Heavy Sporter 26" stainless price was okay, and hope the barrel is too. had kids college tuition comming up and taxes.. figured i better spending it on me instead of the goverment..:D

Hi DirtySouth, i too am doing my first build (http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f26/my-first-build-78459/index9.html#post587794) and have had some of the same questions. i started out with a 111 in 30-06 and am in the process of swapping to 300 win mag. (after flip flopping around on the...

26" 300 win mag barrel, new bolt head, action and barrel wrench ordered today. should be here around the 28th. need to also pick up some go-no go gauges and i think i will be all set for the change. need to have it turned for a muzzle break so that will add a little more time to eveyting. might...

it did not come with an accutrigger. already purchased a new trigger from shoot suply. have not installed it yet. figure i would do eveything at one time.

Yes, this is a brand new gun. I "Think" i am okay with the pin, however this broughtl to light that i have not thought everything through. My goal is to keep the box mag and if that presents a problem with moving up to a 300WM or 300WSM then i will hav to rethink what i am trying to do. going...

well it was the American Gunsmithing Institute (AGI) Technical Manual & Armorer's Course Video "Savage Arms 10-116 Series Bolt Action Rifles" DVD have not found just a technical manual that has the specs for each model.

thanks, i was just searching the web and came across that.

Also, how accurate is the SavageArms.com sites part finder section. i put in my SN and it cam back with the correct model. however it is showing that it has a "FIRING PIN ASSY MAGNUM". Guess i will not know what i have until i pull things apart and break out the micrometers. :-) anyone know...

No insult taken. I am trying to figure out what is feasible and what is not. There are so many posts on here which make it sound so easy. If you have any mechanical aptitude you can go out and buy any old Savage and switch out the barrel with any caliber you want with only a few modifications...

So a few things to keep in mind… if I am going with the 300wm I will need a new mag and depending on the load may not be able to use it. 300RUM will not be able to use the mag and will be limited to a single shot setup . how about the wsm? Will I be able to use the mag with that configuration?

the 110 and 111 are both standard shanks to there is no difference when they state it is for a savage 110, correct.
