Looking to build a .223 Rem on a Savage action. Need the following:

1) Savage 10/11/110 .223 short action- open to almost any configuration- factory accutrigger is fine
2) prefit Savage barrel. I have some requirements:
-20-24"
-Sporter or Heavy Sporter contour; I don't want it too heavy
-1:7-1:8, no less
-Threaded muzzle preferred
3) Factory accustock, but I will entertain lightweight aftermarket options
4) Magazine components TBD based on stock choice

To my knowledge, factory barrels are no faster than 1:9, so those wont work for this build. If you have something collecting dust, please reach out. Thank you!
 
Correct on the factory barrels with a few caveats... I bought a new savage trail hunter lite this summer (I typically build vs buy) but it has a 1:7 heavy Sporter, relatively heavy fluting, 20" threaded barrel. Checked every box for my so I just bought this one.

The other big factor for me was being able to load long heavy bullets... The magazine has a stop that you can modify to get much more length. I'm happy

Haven't shot it a lot yet... Factory hogue stock leaves something to be desired.

Also they went to a closed top action (like an axis). Not really any big issues just can't top load.

Maybe worth a look, so far I like mine a bunch

Good info! I want to load the 77gr TMK's after seeing the results of that bullet on game over on Rokslide. Since making this post, I also discovered that the Ruger American Gen2 checks all of my boxes as well, and its on sale at Cabela's, and I have their credit card (10% discount on Mondays or Tuesdays) AND some gift cards! Might just make it easy and buy one of those.

Also a viable option, depending. I had a first gen American but it was AR mag fed. I think the 77 tmk can be loaded to AR mag length... The 75 eld-m I wanted to use wasn't even close to being possible, so it really handicapped me.

Sounds like it should work for your application though!

I have a savage 223 action, accustock, bottom metal and magazine. It was a 350 legend. Everything for 400 shipped to ffl in lower 48

I believe the .350 legend is a different bolt face? Isn't there something different with it?
 
I think my son is wanting to sell his Axis II that's chambered in 6.5 creed. Are you opposed to an Axis II? I'd think everything would work, just would need to change up a couple things. Has everything that your wanting in your post.
