Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Jarrett "Coup de Grace"

Thank goodness there are Savage Target Actions, prefit Pac-Nor barrels and laminated stocks. Thank goodness I inherited my parent's mechanical aptitude so I can finish and assemble my own stuff.





$7,600, say what? I only spent $1,500 on the rifle above (excluding scope), bedded and finished the stock myself, then screwed it together in my garage. Because I can do it, just about anyone can. Dang thing shoots good too, killed squirrels with aplomb. May not be a lightweight walkabout rifle, but you get the idea.

Same thing can be done with a nice new Remington 700 action from Brownells, using the Pac-Nor Remnut, although I recommend a bit of modification for the Remington, such as a pinned recoil lug, bolt sleeving, lug fitting, and firing pin bushing. Also installing a Jewel Trigger. That adds about $550 to the cost of around $2,000 +/-.

$7,600, really?
