Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Here's what $450.00 worth of parts and Redneck's address will get you

I bought a brand new Savage Axis in 6.5 Creedmoor, a Boyd's Featherweight thumbhole stock and a Timney trigger all for $450.00. (The Ded Nutz Game Reaper and the Bushnell Elite are not included in the $450.00, but I've had the Bushy forever.) I sent all of it to Campfire Oracle Redneck for bedding, and for the Timney install and adjustment. Attached are photos of the results. I can't wait to sight it in and take it deer or coyote hunting!

If you have a Savage Edge, Axis or Axis ll ask me or Redneck what we think of that Timney trigger Midway USA sells for $95.00. It's nice!

Redneck does some nice looking work.

Show us some targets after you get to the range. I would like to see what results can be had on that budget. Sharp looking rifle!

Right you are, Paul B.!

I will post a range report, you bet I will PA Probe (Probe? WTF.... Hahahahahaha). I have a good feeling about this rifle. I'll bet she's good for better than minute of deer out to well past I ever get to shoot here in SW Missouri. And one of the reasons I bought the Savage was how easy it is to swap to a match grade barrel if I would ever feel the need.

That's a dandy!

I've a lefty savage creedmoor. Shoots better then I can.

What was the TOTAL cost of yòur bargain rifle including the cost of Redneck's work and shipping both ways?
I guess is $700 or more in just the rifle.

Well...depending on how she shoots, and I figure it will shoot very well, we can see that it can be worth it to put lipstick on the pig.

Redneck works on Savages?

Shhhhh.............. Lololol

$450.00 worth of PARTS Jkob.

Redneck charged me $2,000.00 to screw everything together. Was that too much?

Don't know, I didn't ask

I just bedded an Axis into a Boyd's stock and also installed/adjusted a Rifle Basix trigger for a Guy I work with. He supplied all materials including the Acraglass and I charged him 75.00 .

first class work, as always. Too bad he's such a crotchety old SOB though.

Pretty, but it's still an Axis.

The "Lipstick on a Pig" thread comes to mind.

I follow another forum.

The guys that make a living with <insert your not snap on tools> catch the blues from the snooty snap on tool guys. There is no way a $15 ratchet will work when I have a $150 ratchet.

Even curmudgeon like in some ways 😎

It's just amazing that you can tell how well a bedding job was done and how a trigger feels from those pictures. I can't tell a thing other than a stock and barreled action were bolted together.

And it affects the nut also to know that it was tightened with $15 dollar ratchet......

Though....it's just as tight.


I have a 1911 that one friend in particular likes to look down upon. A Metro Arms American Classic.

I also have other, more trendy-branded 1911s, But that AC is giving nothing up in reliability and accuracy, and has proven itself through thousands of rounds. I would trust it to defend myself with.

You guys have no sense of humor. I'm a big fan of Savage rifles and have built many over the years. Guess I hurt some feelings.
