here is mine
Stevens 200 LA turned into a .338 Lapua mag with early Timberwolf mag and bottom metal. Gaillard barrel, Holland brake, Farrel base, TPS rings, Falcon Menace, Kydex cheekpiece I made, my freehanded bolt knob and a quality custom stock. It shoots good enough to win in F Class [edit - if it were allowed, it shoot informally along with us] with 225 accubonds, he was one point behind me at 600. I had a tattoo artist paint it, his first rifle job. Overall I'm very happy with his paint job but I failed to tell him it was important to paint the rings, sear, trigger and cheekpiece bolts which didn't get the first coat of Ceracoat. I waited forever to get this painted, until I found this guy then it was no problem.
This particular rifle has an early Timberwolf bottom metal that needed extensive mods to it and it is epoxied into stock for extra strength for both the mag system and the stock. The 5 round mag is unmodified and removeable, you can see the tab in the lower pic behind the mag. The stock is removed just like any other Savage.
Bolt head trued, sized for the case head, extractor repositioned and modified, lug surface area slightly increased by truing and removing most of the chamfer.
Mag opening custom machined to fit the bottom metal which was custom modified.
Action opened up to 1.120X20tpi, aka Savage large shank
Base screws machined to 8x40
Barrel using UNJ inserts at 20tpi leave maximum amount of metal around chamber possible, more so than most full custom tactical actions made for the Lapua.
Tactical bolt handle and bolt assembly mods make it work better.
Custom recoil lug of course.
What material are you guys using to check the checker pattern on those camo paint jobs?
Our rifles are long lost brothers!!!!..rings being replaced. She's almost naked.
