For sale is a custom Savage Model 11 Light Weight Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor.
A little background on this rifle.
I purchased this rifle from a friend who was needing cash. Included with the rifle was 4 boxes of 140 gr Hornady Amax ammo. After cleaning the bore I tested the factory ammo and found the accuracy was not up to my standards and it was obvious by the groups that there was quite a bit of stress in the barrel. I considered sending the barrel off and having it cryo treated but in the end just decided to rebarrel it. I researched prefit barrels and decided on a Shilen Barrel. I sent the action to Shilen and had their barrel shop fit it to the action. At the same time I decided that I also wanted to go in a different direction as far as the stock. The Savage stock was just cheap and had quite a bit of flex in it even for a wood stock. So I called McMillan and ordered a Carbon Graphite Hunters Edge stock. I had them make it for a blind magazine. The original dbm on factory stock was too wide to use on the HE stock. My plan was to fit a Rem700 ADL type magazine into the stock but when I went to search out these parts there was none available so I backordered the ADL parts and then took apart the single stack magazine from the stock magazine and retro fit it into the McMillan stock. At first this magazine was a little clunky to use but after shooting the remainder of the original factory ammo for barrel break in I actually got used to it and it feeds flawlessly. I still have the original ADL parts that I will include for buyer to change if he or she prefers a staggered feed magazine. The rifle weighs 6 lbs. 4 ozs. with Shilen barrel and McMillan stock. During barrel break in the rifle shot groups .6" to .75" with the factory ammo. With the last box of factory ammo I had no problem hitting 8" steel at 750ish yards off of a backpack. With handloads this rifle will be a real shooter. I have some 143 eld-x and h4350 loaded for testing but have never got around to testing it. PM me with your email address and I will send you pictures. Rifle specs are as follows:
