Let the building begin

[Jolten]

Transforming a Savage 110 270win into a 26 nosler.

-Recoil lug
- McGowen prefit barrel
     - 28"
     - Sendero contour
     - 1-8" twist
     - 26 Nosler
     - Savage small shank threads
     - muzzle threaded 5/8x24
     - 5/8x24 turbo-brake
- DBM bottom metal with 1 magazine
- Boyd's At-One stock
- Timney trigger

Hoping to use Barnes 127gr LRX at roughly 3600fps. Big shout out to York for talking a newbie through all this. Should be a fun first build.

Good Luck! Sounds like a good plinker.  Not familiar with the brake.

[Jolten]

Thanks MW. I'm still debating what scope but I'll have plenty of time to decide that.

3600 fps.....

That's cooking right along.   

Looks fun.

Should be a flat shooter

You know what you could do?  You could push a 26 Nosler reamer into your barrel about .150" deeper and headspace off of a 338 RUM go gage and have yourself a 26 Boondoogle! It would essentially be a 6.5 Badger with a 35° shoulder that would let you use standard 26 Nosler dies. Then you can pick up some ADG 338 RUM brass and have some REAL fun.

Look at me helping!

I have had great luck with McGowen.  Hope yours is great too!

Have you tried the turbobrake of theirs yet?

Fair enough. How's your 37xc doing?

it waiting for spring with baited breathe.  Pia spotting impacts in the snow.  Not to mention hiking in to my spots.  I’ve just been spending the winter in the smithy and shooting coyotes from the driveway

Exactly why I waited for near spring 😂

Just be sure to put plenty of sand in the barrel threads and pull a length of 40 weight barbed wire through the barrel to keep in line with the original Boondoogle.
