My New Savage 6.5 Grendel Build !

[wll]

I just bought a used, but in new condition SA Savage, I will get it out of gun jail in a little over a week.

I called Effie at Savage and ordered the bolt face, follower spring, and box mag case for a 7.62x39.

Also ordered a Boyd's Tacticool stock.

I will be ripping the gun apart soon as I get it, I will bead blast the receiver and cold blue.

I'll be buying a 28" barrel from McGowen in a 1/8 twist in a Douglas 7-W profile ... big but not to heavy.

Is there anything I've left out ?

What bases would you put on, I have one piece, but do I really need 20moa base on this gun ?

I plan on some target shooting, 400-800 yard gong shooting, that type of thing.

Next step is dies and powder ....any ideas ?

I'm making a nice functional gun, but not going to spend huge bucks on fancy stocks, custom bolts, that type of thing ... BTW, this is my first build :-)

Thanks guys.
