Sign of the times right here. This is a great setup at a very good price. Would of thought it would of sold quick.

Curious ?

Did you install barrel ?

Shows newer style non knurled barrel nut ?

Built similar 358 Savage yrs ago....but used Pac Nor barrel

GLWYS !

I had the barrel installed by a local gunsmith. He used the original barrel nut from the factory.

I can provide load data to the buyer; have found consistent sub-moa loads using 225 gr Sierra GameKings, 200 gr Barnes TTSX, 225 gr Partitions, and 250 gr Speer Hot-Cors. It's a very good shooter.

Thx

I see that's its the newer bottom bolt release...thus non knurled nut

Somebody has a .358 itch that needs to be scratched!

Update: Seems like the short LOP on the walnut stock is giving a lot of folks pause, so I dropped it into a full-length stock I found on eBay. It's been well-used, but this rifle was never a beauty queen, so... Did some Dremel and sandpaper work to get it all to fit. A rattle can job and maybe a little bedding work and you're set.

Here's a few crummy pics with the adult-sized stock:





Willing to sell with either stock, or both.
