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!
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.
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 .
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.

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