And here's my latest Savage. Most people would cry if they know what I had into this rifle.
I picked up this old (Jan 1998 mfg) Savage 110 in 300WM last week for a screamin deal and I have set off to build it into a long range hunter. It originally came to me with a Springfield scope and Harris 25" bipod but after those sold I started getting things together. Due to the very limited selection of stocks available (under $200) for a Savage LA I went with a Bell & Carlson Duramaxx in green/black camo, huge improvement over the factory synthetic. Then added an EGW 20MOA base and Timney 2lb trigger, once again a huge difference. My plans are too add a CDI bottom metal and detachable mag and some good glass, but due to the move and limited funding those will wait. Well, here are the pictures.
Starting.

Not finished but done for now.

I have a bolt handle coming in which should be here in the week. Next is a good set of rings too.
