[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1123818, member: 39764"] The way I got involved with John Pierce and company was, one of our hunting group had Pierce enlarge the magazine opening on his Krieger barreled 300 WM so I went up with him to chek it out, so to speak. I have always shot Savages, I like 'em. The my bud decides to have Pierce build him a titanium actioned, Kreiger barrelled MacMillan stocked stick and my other hunting bud gets wind of it so he jumps on the bandwagion and orders up a full titanium actioned (even the bolt handle is titanium) Bartlien barrelled, Macmillan CF thumbholed stock stick, so, not wanting to be left out I threw John a curve... I had them rebarrel (Bartlien No.2 light contour) my Savage 11 lightweight hunter. I wanted to loose the wood stock (it's really light but it's wood), I wanted a CF stock, nothing fancy (anyone can paint a stock with a rattle can btw). I had Pierce chamber the blank (that they ordered for me) with a Bisley reamer espressly for sending 165 Bergers. They also ordered a Manners stock but had a mixup at Manners and I waited almost a year for the stick. No issue, it's light (under 8.5 pounds with a 30mm Vortex 4-16 PST scope (to be changed to a 1" next year) to drop an additional 10 ounces. It sends Bergers just like I expected it to and it's a short barrel, just right for Michigan woods... and out west too. Manners threw me a curve too. I got a prototype stock with full aluminum machined bedding done by the owner of Manners himself and it's beautiful. I like to pull the barrelled action and admire the machine work inside the stock. Mo bondo inside. It's all bedded in aluminu, billet. it's even engine turned... a work of art. Not bad for a stick that started life as a box stock Savage.... So, all in all, between the 3 of us we bought 3 sticks, 2 full builds and mine. Only Savage Pierce ever rebarrelled and restocked btw. They do nice work, I recommend them...and they are fun guys too.
