It would be really cool if you took pictures of the build progress along the way, and posted them.

Agreed. Pics or BAN I say.

Well I got it together and it is awesome. I have a Primary Arms 4x14x44mm scope on it. The 28 Inch McGowen barrel looks great. The barrel install went great, used Pro Gold on the barrel threads and it was smoooooth !

Used the no go, go gauges and they worked great. Put go gauge in and got a nice fit, removed the go gauge and indexed the barrel and receiver using a black marker, smacked the barrel nut with a hard plastic hammer a couple of times and the receiver moved a very little bit. Put no go gauge in and I could not close the bolt ... put go gauge in and the bolt closes fine ;- )

Will send pic later ; -)

Here is a pic, I hope to have better images in the next few days !

Will send better pics later ; -)

Might add, a level will be added to the scope set up for the next pic .....

Got to tell you this is a very bad a%% set up ! it is very clean, very low recoil, very high BC. It is a set up for getting the most out of the least !

Will report the ballistics when I get the reloading components !

wll- that is a handsome rifle! Gotta love savages. Did you know about "tuning" the action screws with an inch/ lb. wrench? It made a difference on my savage model 12 LRP.
one more thing to "tweak" ha ha. good job, nice rifle, sir.

Nice looking!

Does that laminate stock have pillars installed? Did you glass bed the action?

As it stands now it does not have pillars, nor is it glass bedded. I will take it to the range to see how it does and then decide if she needs it.

Bullets are coming in today and need to set up my reloading room table as I have not done that since moving.

Just bought some factory ammo and that should be in next week some time, and then I'll test her out.
