Any interest? Savage "Bush Carbine"

[CanAm]

We are looking to do a custom run of Savage rifles in 308 with 18.5" barrels.

Which is of more interest:

Stevens 200 w/"Tenifer" finish ~$399
Savage 11FCNS with detach mag and accutrigger w/"Tenifer" finish ~$599

These will be completely factory guns.

Any other suggestions for options are welcome

I would be interested if they had open sights.

 

[farshot]

I would be interested with Peep / Ghost ring sights

I would be interested with Peep / Ghost ring sights

Ditto.

 

[Iron Glove]

I'd take either one IF it was a left handed model.

 

[CanAm]

Tell me more about what peep sights you would like. Brand, style, etc. i don't think Savage has their own.

I too am a peep sight fan.

 

[manbearpig]

is the Savage 11FCNS the old style magazine, or the updated one (ie: last few years)?

and yeah, seconded/thirded/fourthed/whatever on the ghost rings.

 

[CanAm]

They would be brand new production (not built yet)

 

[anthonyfrechette]

Ghost ring would be excellent.

Chambered in 7mm-08 would be even better

 

[HeadDamage]

Yes... needs open sights, ghost or otherwise.

You read my mind!

I was just pondering a build along these lines. I think that the 11 is a better option, and i think some sort of ghost ring would be the ticket. Perhaps with the rear built into a scope base.

 

[starpuss]

if there completely factory guns i would like one with a 15" maybe in 45-70 or 30-30

Savage uses a Williams WGRS peep site on their Scout Model...
Savage changed the rear receiver some time back when they came out with their Accura Trigger line.. From flat to round or visa/versa ... I don't know if they changed the Stevens rear receive at the same time or not.. Something to be aware of..
I suspect that the front site on the Scout is made by Williams also...

Why not build a budget Stevens in 7.62x39? For $399, I bet they'd fly off the shelves.

williams wgrs would be ok, but i'd like a 358 winnie barrel.

Because people who shoot a 7.62x39 are below a stevens. Yeah, i said it

I will ask them.

One point I see with these guns for the bush is that the inherent heavy bolt lift, with both models, will detract from the light, agile feeling of the guns themselves. Fast follow up shots may not be a matter of course. Solve that problem and you have a winner.

The .308 is a perfect utilitarian calibre that will be considered for purchase by the most people. Straying from that is likely a business decision for the future but mass appeal is likely the best bet. Of course, I am telling you your business, while I am not in business and you are a successful busin........never mind, you know what I mean.
a simple ghost ring set up would be a huge plus.... and those price points are very attractive (but stick with the Savage)
