So you tweaked the trigger and change the barrel and that's the semi custom? Not what I had in mind.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
Your box stock stevens won't do it with a tricep strap.
Think of a sling on the rifle with an extra loop that goes around the non-firing hands arm, that is pulled tight to allow more stable shooting while standing or in an otherwise unsupported position. Your current stock with flex into the next county if you attempted this.
looks cool, but I guess I dont get the point, just so you can say you did it yourself? My box stock $250 savage/stevens will outshoot it for half the money and no time.. But yours looks cooler.
Here is one I built, donor was a 110 converted to a .257 Roberts. I think I have about 900 into it with glass. I had the action blue printed. Oh and I have a 7mm rem mag, what should I do with it? I do not think it will stay a rem mag.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yorke, I do want to thank you for this post. I didn't understand or retain that the action was kind of a unique design for accuracy no matter what. I'm starting to suspect the barrel on my .223 stevens isn't the norm for accuracy. I also have been pretty mean to that rifle sometimes. I guess I need to look into how to safely tweak the trigger and see if I'm comfortable doing something like that. I do know that I absolutely hate the stock on the stevens line. It's way too flexible for me to even want to bother bedding the action. The only problem I have with building one is finding the parts locally. Donor savages aren't common in my local area that don't cost near as much used as they would new, especially since I don't pay state fees for delivery of firearms.
Anything with the common bolt face (.300wm, 338wm... etc) just involves a barrel. Anything else involves a bolthead swap as well, not to mention possible magazine work.
yorke-I have a 110 in 7mm Rem Mag and want to change the caliber, any suggestions? Sorry if this hi jacking the thread. you can send me a pm if you would like.I'm following this closely also. Awesome guns.
Ok.. so I have been completely anti Savage bolt guns for years... I bought one of those cheap 110 with scope combos years ago. The damn thing shot bigger patterns than my 870. It was the biggest POS I ever owned, and it went down the road quickly.Are these Savages really that good? I now shoot my own builds, (a custom Rem. 700 and a custom blueprinted Howa) and one Sako TRG-s in 338 WM..I want a 300 WSM that will shoot 1/2 moa or less at 400 yards with handloads... without dropping a grand or more.. Is this possible???
Where is everyone finding these barrels and odds and ends?
