Well, I've been busy building a Savage 111, I needed a 300 Win Mag, for hunting moose. Something that I can use in the woods and not worry about keeping it nice. I have 50 long guns, ten-fifteen are for hunting, a whole lot of different calibers for hunting.
First thing I'm looking at is a good, reasonable, scope, that is five hundred yards max, any suggestions?
Everything that I've done to this rifle has been custom, the bolt has been cleaned where Savage has been removed, the barrel was rotated around so the blank side of the barrel is up. I took the stock and sealed it up against the elements inside and outside, installing a cross bolt in the stock. The Savage has a older style trigger, however it was made in 2006. I have the no go, go exact, scope rings loc-tite, sling is push release with a leather sling. I cut the tip off, installed a custom tip, grip cap is hand made using white spacers.
Barrel installed, 300 Win Mag using 212-Grain ELDX
I'm working on finishing the bolt assembly, a couple of the parts are non existent, except from the factory. I have my license which cleared the parts for order. I found everything used, the bolt handle is threaded, which is what I want.
I've ordered a five round magazine, which in the future I will order a extra one.
It's been great building this rifle, custom things are installed making this durable for hunting, rugged, and it's specific to what I wanted.
Specifications:
Wooden walnut stock sealed from the elements.
300 Win Mag barrel purchased for the rifle.
Older trigger, cleaned tuned a must.
Leather sling, push release swivel.
5 round magazine.
Scope ?
Savage Arms removed from rifle sight.
Custom bolt for winter hunting, large knob.
Thick recoil pad.
Stock reinforcement.
Top bolt release a must.
