baldie Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Here,s a Savage I,ve just finished today. The donor rifle landed and was fitted with a Truflite palma profile barrel and chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. The muzzle thread is an unusual 3/4" x 16 TPI which is the Southern Gun Company preferred thread, and will fit the owners mod which does double duty on several guns. Covered with an invisible cap. Action and barrel bead blasted to freshen everything up. This was then fully bedded into the McMillan A5 stock. Nice guns the Savages. I,m going to do a few more I think.

kent Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 is that the safety in front of the bolt handle? I am not that familiar with the action but that seems rather weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 No, its the bolt release. The safety is on the tang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 No, its the bolt release. The safety is on the tang. I thought it might be a step too far and wasn't sure of the bit on the tang, looked too low and fiddly to be the safe switch - bet that would be hard with gloves on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuck Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Dave we see you finish alot of your rifles in the Macmillan stocks! But a lot of the rifles you seem to do, I didn't know that they made a Macmillan for a savage action! Do you buy them for a different action and make them fit??? Or do jacksons have alot more stocks than is ever listed on the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 McMillan inlet for an awful lot of actions, and it is an american rifle. I buy a lot from Jacksons, but also order quite a few direct too. Still the best stock in the world in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I like Savages. Almost bit on a Long Range Hunter in 6.5x284 the other week....~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillo Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I notice it's not the Savage Accutrigger. Is it an after market model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 No , its the standard model. The action must be older, its not a bad trigger actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
