I love the .300 Savage....but why do that to a limited run rifle instead of starting from scratch?

 

[EastBranch]

Because I also have it's exact twin wearing the same scope in original condition

Looks like a nice handy gun. I like the short barrels and think if you shortened the stock a few inches up front it would be better yet. And lighter.

 

[regulate34]

very nice gun. that color as stainless go togher very nicely.

Cream colored stock is cute, a real lady gun!

 

[Sask_Hunter]

Long live the 300 original short mag

Beauty rifle you got there. I really like the Idea of the .300Sav in a lightweight rifle, very sensible.

 

[shortaction]

Very nice!

I have/had the same rifle and found I wasn't using it, so I had the barrel cut down to 21" and the stock shortened to a 12 3/8" LOP and gave it to my sister.

You are making me wonder how much lighter it would be with a synthetic stock.

 

[SHELL SHUCKER]

That's an ideal set-up for hunting in your neck of the woods.
Me like.

pzzszzzzt.....look under the pic

uh...yes

 

[EastBranch]

What kind of loads are you using?

Hunting loads are
150 ttsx over 8208xbr for 2850 in the original 24" classic
130 ttsx over 8208xbr for ~2900 in the one pictured. Hasn't been developed yet

Oops haha forgot I put that there

I seen this abomination on Bartells facebook page. I thought "who the hell would assemble such an ugly boom stick". But youre from NWT's so it makes sense


Kidding...hell of a cool gun

I thought you sounded like an ass, that explains the majority of your comments.


Pardon me, gotta go assemble Amaxs bound for some AR400.
