Savage custom order shop

[Tommie]

...or whatever they call it.

I’m thinking about having them do a special order gun. Would love to know what kind if experience others have had. Time frames, price, quality of work, whatever.
Thanks!

I had one done once, about 9 years ago. It is a 110 LE with a 20" 7mm Rem mag, Savage bull barrel. They offered my choice of stock and that is about it other than caliber and barrel contour or length. More of a special order shop than a custom shop.
They don't do trigger work or action truing or any other accurizing options, or at least they didn't then.
Took around 8 weeks to get rifle from time of order to me. No difference in cost than a standard 110 LE at the time.

Have you considered building it yourself?

Go to ER SHAW custom savages . Better gun , same but better savage . Have a look anyway , not more than the savage by much if any .
Definitely a higher return when / if you decide to sell.

Thanks for answering my question.
Anyone else have experience with the Savage custom shop?

A good read.

Savage is quick to distance itself from the term “custom,” as its service uses standard production parts to assemble the guns, and they receive no extra fine-tuning above and beyond what the main line firearms are subject to.
