I certainly do appreciate all the insight on my project. I guess I'll start reloading 300 Savage this weekend and attempt the fuzzy sight picture until I get something lined up.
I do have another issue I need to deal with and hope that someone has insight on this last bit of work. The rifle has the slim forearm with Schnable and the barrel stud appears to have been added post production. It looks like a modern cast piece and is undersized allowing play. I really don't want to peen the doveltail and would rather file down an oversized barrel stud, but can't find a replacement from Numrich and the other usual suspects. Are there any Savage specialist parts shops that I might be missing in my search?
