Bump

Hi all, I’m looking for a savage 11 or 16 (preferably 16) top bolt release 270 WSM. Would also be interested in the same large shank short action as I have a barrel and stock. Let me know if you’ve got one for sale. Thanks, JB

PM inbound.

Went to the range today with my 94 grainers. Shot reasonably well at 100 (1 MOAish) then I went to the table and found my drop for 550. It called for 7 MOA based on my velocity, but ended up being 8. Once dialed in, I made 3 consecutive hits on the 4" heart of the steel target. I'm happy...

Good point. I went ahead and reloaded all 94s for today's shooting. If I don't like it, I'll try 1/2 grain intervals next week.

I'm not sure if you are just looking for a stripped gun or a complete set-up, but I've got a factory savage 116 300 RUM. I don't really want to get rid of it as I've been collecting pieces for a long range set-up for a couple of years and I haven't even shot it yet. It is a low round count (as...

Seller is good to go. Purchased a rifle and brass from him and he was a prompt shipper and communication was good.

I'll take em.

LA stock SPF.

And top/side bolt release, not the newer bottom bolt release.

Both stocks are inletted for bottom metal (DBM or HF). Short action stock has 4.4 action screw spacing.

Barrels

I thought I'd try to build, but it's easier to buy complete rifles. 1 medium sporter contour. $125 shipped. 1 heavy sporter contour. $125 shipped. Both barrels are second hand to me and were reportedly low-round take-offs, but I can't personally vouch for that. The bores do look good. 1...
