Building off of a savage action

[trueblue]

View attachment 85586 I just don't see this as being ugly...I get tons of positive comments from guys at the range and hunting lease.

I like that bolt work.
Who did it?

By the way, I'm also a Savage fan. I have two. The one weakness I've found is the sear. They are pretty cheesy, made out of stamped metal and mine chipped on my accutrigger model. Started tripping the trigger as soon as the bolt was closed. The accutrigger has very little sear engagement and it concentrates all the pressure on the edge of the sear. I swapped in a Timney trigger and so far its good (3lb) but not as light as it once was.

Jard makes a replacement kit but reviews are mixed. Sharp Shooters Supply make a kit do but I understand they're not doing them any longer.

The bolt ($85.00) is from Sharp Shooter Supply...I also got the recoil lug from them. I know I said earlier I got it from EA Brown (I've got one coming from them right now...my mistake...for my next build).

The ER Shaw barrel and Choate stock came from EA Brown...I added the cheek riser to it also

EGW 0MOA rail...the last 0 I buy...just got a 20 MOA for another Savage...next build gets a 20MOA. Get the from Mounting Solutions for $32 free shipping.

Rings are low Vortex... $19ea cheapies, but they sure seem solid..

Still plan to put bottom metal on it. Maybe a trigger...it has the factory that I slicked up...

Did all the assemly work myself and less scope have less than 1K in it!

I'm thinking about doing a 7mm wsm. Is that a large shank or a small shank?

 

[Red 1]

Small shank, great round but be ready to fire form if you want good brass

I was thinking either the wsm or the plain jain 7mmRM. The plan is to shoot the 180 eld and 183 smk.
