[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2434349, member: 106514"] I did a .22 Creedmoor with mine ising a 1:7 Criterion barrel from Northland. It has not disappointed. I wanted a lighter weight hunting rig, so I opted for a 24" barrel in aporter weight and bedded it into a Boyd's stock. Mine was top bolt release, which I much prefer working with, but they make all the parta for a bottom release, too. I bought up an extra top sear conversion of I ever buy another BBR to convert. I used a Patriot Valley barrel nut which requires milling of the Boyd's drop-in stock to fit. I beleive that's either a PTG or EABCO ground oversided lug. Trigger repacement springs from MCARBO, Midnight Blue Cerakote by local smith. Left the PV nut stainless because we figured I'd scratch up the Cerakote trying to tighten it down. I generally leave the lug silver anyway, because it goes with the bolt and blade of the Accu-Trigger (when I use a model that'a got a jeweled or stainless bolt). I didn't want the black shiny PV lug because it wouldn't match the Cerakote, most likely. You can fix that by coating the lug and the rest of the metal whatever color you want. Patriot Valley makes some jim dandy pre-fits, and there are others available, also. A word of caution about making cartridges like the 6.5x284, .284 Win, 6.5x55 SE, and other mid-length cartridges that need a long action to seat the highest BC bullets, there are ZERO quality stocks available for a long-action Savage with Bull Barrel combination in the current center-feed iteration!
