[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1101546, member: 13833"] Thanks to the fine work of Rhian (bigngreen), the 7mm Sherman Shortmag is up and running. I hope to get out in the next couple days and light it up. I wanted to do a build on a Savage, which I have not done before, and come up with a quality build that did not break the bank. I started by buying a Model 16 in 300 WSM so that the bolt face, action and mag box would all match up with the SS. I purchased a Boyds thumbhole sporter, which was pillar bedded. The barrel is a #4 Krieger 5r, 8 twist. The scope is a Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 mounted on a 20 moa TPS Rail with Burris Zee rings. The trigger spring was replaced with the lightest available and the trigger feels light and crisp. As a side note, The run out on the entire chamber was measured at 0.0000" (close enough for this owner) I will sell the Savage leftovers including 3x9 nikon scope with BDC, new 300 WSM barrel, and various other parts for about $250. The total cost of the build will then be just over $2000.
