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.
