Well I bit the bullet...
That Savage 22-250 I've had for a while never HAS shot as good as my Remington VS 22-250. Really, not even CLOSE. SO...I'm not much on selling centerfire actions so I've having this one redone.. Kevin Rahill is going to do this one up right for me(hopefully). Originally..I intended on sending the rifle off to Sharp Shooter Supply since they seem to be one of the Savage action specialist. But after hearing some horror stories concerning turn-around time, I looked elsewhere. Key Rahill comes to me highly recommended so I'm giving him a try.
Here's what the rifle will consist of:
1. New Stockade Gun Stocks "woodchuck" stock, bedded.
2. Montana Rifleman varmint contour barrel chambered for 22-250 Ackley Improved 1 in 8 twist with muzzlebrake.
3. Action tuned/timed and refinished in matte black.
4. Oversided bolt handle installed.
5. Sharp Shooter trigger installed.
6. Large shank recoil lug installed.
7. I can't think if anything else! 8)
I'm expecting the rifle in 4-6 weeks, maybe sooner. The rifle is going to be set up to shoot 65-80gr .224 bullets. Of course I'll report back after shooting! I'm also going to re-scope it. Probably be a Leupold LRT or could even be a Nightforce.
