[QUOTE="Tidus56, post: 1644911, member: 104495"] I would buy a donor savage rifle. I would I find one in 300 win mag. I would see if it shot the way it was. If it does add a kydex cheek piece and you’re done. If it doesn’t shoot, pull the barrel and send a dummy round off to Criterion, shillen, Mcgowen or whomever you prefer. Make a dummy round for the barrel being built. Seat the dummy round to fit the magazine with room to spare so you can chase the lands and still be in the mag. Also with having a custom barrel made you can choose twist and freebore so you can shoot the bullet you want. You should make your dummy round with whatever brass and bullet you plan to use. Add a precision recoil lug and barrel nut from Northland shooters supply. Put your barrel on the action. Its an easy process if you don’t know how ask and someone will help you. Bed the recoil lug in your plastic stock or order a McMillan, Manners, bell and Carlson or Boyd’s. That should do it. All my rifles I have built like this shoot well. I have built 8 now just finished one last night and the first 7 shoot. I assume number 8 will too. #8 cost me a grand total of $500 minus the scope. Here is number 8, it’s a 6.5-284 in a Boyd’s featherweight stock. [/QUOTE]
