Straight from the Savage custom shop! 300 RUM Laminated stainless steel, everything done to it! Love the bolt jeweling and my name on the bolt! It has a 26" barrel and all the accuracy tricks have been done to the action, as I was told by the manager ofthe Custom shop. Weight is 7 3/4 lbs as seen in the pictures. Accutrigger, pillar bedded, free floated, button rifled etc. Talley lightweight (less than 2 oz) 1 piece aluminum rings (30mm) ans a Leupy 4.5x14x40mm LR from their custom shop with M1 dials will be on it soon! All under 9 lbs that will shoot like a sendero or maybe better???????? I can taste the 200 gr Accubonds at 3150 fps and the 168 gr Tipped TSX's at 3500 fps!!!! LAZER! Can not wait to shoot it!

Sweet rig. IMHO Savage has the best looking laminated factory stocks. I bought one for my son's .243 110.

I like Savages and that one should shoot. Didn't know they had a Custom Shop. No Accutrigger I see. What trigger did you go with?

Looks like an accutrigger to me....

Well, POP, I'm sure your new rifle will shoot very good if not excellent.
I hope you don't mind me saying this,
That's a butt ugly rifle.

SU-you'll love this one.
The most accurate rifle I ever owned was a Savage in a 223 with a short fat hvy barrel (I'd had it cut to 21"). This was may moons ago b4 the short fats were in vogue.
My buds said it was about too ugly to have in the pd fields.
It was dubbed "little anus"....

I can dig it POP, but then I've always like the look of stainless/laminated combos.
Looking forward to pics of little cloverleafs!

Nice,Pop. Good luck with it! I suspect it will shoot real well!
The 280 Remington is overbore.

Pop,
Savage should have sent you a test target. They did with both of my 25-06 and 260 rem "leftys" they built for me last August.
Effie Sulivan told me that every Savage custom build goes to the test range for accuracy testing and the test target is shipped in the box.

That's a butt ugly rifle. Looks alot nicer to me than a Tikka, and probably shoots as well too.
