Welp, time to start another build thread.
Unlike my M1 Garand build thread, I will be tracking costs with this one. https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/long-guns/311557-start-something-beautiful.html
My goal is to self build a competition rifle for under the cost of buying the factory comparison.
Today I stopped over at ZX gun and bought this:
ZX Gun | Savage Trophy Hunter XP Bolt 30-06 Springfield 22" Walnut
588.49 Rifle combo w/tax
-75$ mail in rebate
-100$ Sold scope, 1/2/2015
+12.25 for bolt release conversion
+49.50 for adjustable cheek hardware, http://www.kmwlrs.com/LoggerHead_ACP_Hardware
-90$ for factory barrel sold on eBay 1/9/2015
-53$ for factory stock sold on eBay 1/12/2015
+379 for Shilen 28" 308 10 twist stainless select match barrel
+28 for ground recoil lug
+28 for ground barrel nut
+10 for 1-1/2lb trigger spring
+90 for V Block
+128 for PTG Bottom Metal, Steath Mag
+35 for PTG Nat Lambeth Bolt Lift Kit
+75 for PTG Custom Ground Over-sized Bolt Body
+69.50 for PTG Bolt Head
Total: 1174.74
Here is the plan so far:
Strip the barrel, stock, scope, and mounts off and sell them.
Purchased Master Class, F Class Prone stock: http://www.masterclassstocks.com/fclass.html
Purchase a Shilen barrel, 28" 10 twist .308 bull, from http://northlandshooterssupply.com/match-grade-barrels/shilen-savage-barrels/
Purchase a v block from Whidden
Purchase competition barrel nut and recoil lug from NSS
Purchase bipod from?
I will start with the pictures as soon as I receive the rifle, hopefully next week.
