Well
Going down the rabbit hole.
Building a smokeless in 45 caliber on a savage axis action.
I've been playing with the savage platform quite a bit the last few years.
This is going to be a budget build to see if this is even for me.
I went with the axis donor in 6.5 cm
I got the gun at academy for 430
I'll repurpose the barrel for a 6.5 cm striker build.
Will repurpose the magazine for a better easier for her for my misses 243 model 10 short action.
So the action cost very little when you subtract those costs. That I had to purchase any way.
Went with a prb system. Cecil was very helpful.
So far the action barrel bolt sleeve and bolt handle have arrived.
Broke the savage down yesterday.
With the correct tools it takes 20 minutes to pull it down
Rebuilt the bolt and set heads pace today
Barrel action now completed.
