Just came in today, and it is very nice overall. nice smooth bolt and crisp light trigger


Let us know how it performs, I have been looking at getting a left hand model. That rifle has the Savage action, right? How do you guys like the Savage action, pros and cons?

I had a few of these rifles built back in 2012, a 257 Roberts and 300 H&H. The 257 was on a synthetic stock that I don't think is offered any more. The 300 was built on their walnut stock. I found the walnut stock kind of off, doesn't really fit me well. To thick in the in the wrong places. I was thinking about having it restocked, but it is harder than I thought due to changes that Shaw does to the action. Below is part of an email from their representative concerning changes they do to the Savage action. Both rifles are very accurate and a good left hand option, I just wish I had opted for synthetic stock on both rifles.

Good afternoon
The action is a round design action like the Savage 10/110, we have them rough turned for us then we finish them
We use a .250 recoil lug, about 1/2 again bigger than the factory savage.
We do not use a barrel nut like save does.
The breech od of our barrels is wider and longer than a savage one is.
No Savage stock will accept a MK VII bbl/action.
Thanks again

The MK VII, which is all they currently have in LH, is indeed a savage action, though heavily worked over and improved. It worked out so well, they have created their own action called the MK X that used features from several manufacturers, and is a new modified controlled round feed, but they have not yet started making LH for that and can't tell me when. The stock design from 2012 is no more, they have a new source and they are much better than those were. Don't tell my wife but I actually ordered a .300 H&H and a .375 H&H since I was getting 20% off! I liked the right hander so much, I felt safe going for it, lol
