if you are going to CLAIM you can shoot with the customs... COME ON OUT TO A MATCH AND prove it. i have owned and shot savage rifles both mag and single shot.. i sold all the mag fed but one they are poor bases for a accurate rifle PERIOD. i have 2 single shot savages one an ftr one a lrpv both shoot very well.
my comments are based on facts and targets not hopeful opinion.

I like custom actions as much as anyone. However, some years back, there was a guy that won the TN State F-TR match with a factory Savage. If that's not proof, I don't know what it. It's not the arrow, it's the Indian. Money doesn't buy talent.

Nice work OP. You got to love it when a project starts like that!

I was going to buy myself an FV for Christmas last year. Sadly, they were not out there in my desired 223.
They appear to be a ridiculous value.

How did this go from a guy happy with what he’s done to somebody crapping on it? Of course it’s not a real benchrest rifle. What’s the percent of Benchrest competition shooters to the rest of the shooting population?

Well said sir.
