Is this rifle still for sale? If it is do you know if it has a large shank barrel on it?

What gets me is the Obama admin. Has not been able to restrict anything firearm related, but everyone is panicking. Why? We are creating an inflated market. Costs are going up with demand and when the demand returns to normal the prices never seem to get back. All we are doing is shooting...

I like this one. We need to reach the humanity of our Nation. People lets not be puppets.

The population as a whole are to far gone. It is so frustrating for those of us who still care, and know where we are heading.

Just to let you know, if you can't find 7mm WSM brass, it is easy to fire form the 300 WSM brass to work. I had to do this last time I bought brass. It actually worked out great. If you want any more info send me a pm.

Bump for a beautiful rifle. You should keep that one. You will be kicking yourself down the line.

Would you be interested in a straight trade for a stainless Savage 16 7mm WSM center feed in a Choate tactical stock?

I'll give this a bump for a great smith. Kirby is an honest stand up guy. He does not exaggerate. If he says he was able to get MOA out of this rig in bad conditions, I bet this rifle is a hummer. If I wasn't trying to save on my rifle/shooting budget by downsizing in caliber I would be all over...

I have a Stainless Savage 7mm WSM in a Choate tactical stock, and a weaver 0 moa picatinny rail base,that shoots sub MOA all day long. I have one load worked up that will shoot .5 moa quite regular. All my shooting is from the prone off a bipod and rear bag. I'm looking to make a straight across...

Shot a lot of different stocks. Have the Choate tactical on my savage right now, and can say it is one of the best stocks for the money. If you are on a budget like me, this makes for a great combination. Lot of adjustability, very durable, great options, impervious to weather. It shoots great...

I don't know how super glue would work, don't have enough anyway, but I have a whole lot of Elmer's. of course you wouldn't want to use it on a composite stock, but Elmer's is made for wood right?

Are you using the same load? When you bed an action, you stiffen the rifle system, which can change your barrel harmonics quite a bit. Your rifle may not be in tune with the old load. If you are not reloading, try different loads. If you are reloading work up a new load. There are many things...

I shoot nothing now except Savages. Kind of an agreement between my wife and I. I'm a gunsmith want to be. I love to buy factory rifles (new/used) and tinker to get them to shoot as best I can. Once I get them shooting, I tend to loose interest and move on to the next project. Usually selling...

I have a Ruger Hawkeye All Weather 308 Winchester. Just wondering when it comes time to re barrel, could it be turned into a 7mm WSM? I know there would be several issues that would have to be addressed, but is it possible?

Just saw this post. Glad to hear your dad is improving. Being I'm late on this one I, will pray that things continue to improve for your father and all others that a illness like this effect.
