Any interest? Savage "Bush Carbine"

[KiLLGiLL]

I would take a savage

 

[jakerazer]

Go with the Stevens 18.5 it's the best compromise for an inexpensive bush gun. The muzzle blast on 18.5 would be significant but it would retain most of the velocity and accuracy.
I would be in for one.

Stevens 16" but would be okay with 18.5.

I have made several Stevens with 18.5 barrels for my daughter, including a 308, and have several Ruger compacts/frontiers with the 16" incl. a 300wsm.

MUZZLE BLAST IS A NON ISSUE. If we're going for a bush/trunk/truck gun, 16" is all we need.

short barrel bush gun would sure be nice.are you stuck with one cal?also would a guy need 1in10 to load up a heavy hitter for a bush gun?

 

[David_K]

This would be awesome but I think a 14" .223 would be awesomer.

Brush Gun

OK ...I'd go with the Stevens in 308 ...whatever the majority rules with barrel length (16-18 )... sights ? ...ehhh...majority rule ...I'd be in!

16" Medium contour barrel with oversized bolt handle in 308!

 

[kyjelly44]

oh ya how much more will savage charge to realtree the stock?

 

[mudgunner49]

Stevens 200 16.5 or 18.5" barrel with Iron Sights - I'd prefer the shorter barrel though...

 

[canuck]

16" Medium contour barrel with oversized bolt handle in 308!

... and Williams sights.

I'd be in for one of these for sure.

 

[P12]

I don't mind the iron sights, but can a scope be mounted with the rear sight where it is.

X2 on the 14" .223.

 

[Can-down]

It's pretty easy to chop a longer barrel down to 18.5 or 20" if that's what a guy wants....much harder to chop one down to 16".

16" custom order would be unique for sure.
Can they make a a shorter stock for it as well?
Drilled for and including a scout rail would be a nice option to go with a peep on the rear..

 

[Brocolt]

Is everyone fine with the 200 stock?

What do you mean by a $200 stock? depends on your source? any pics on the stock?
Note: I have a new accustock from a 10fcp and I consider this to be a $225 stock

 

[Brocolt]

An oversized bolt handle would be nice.

+1 on this but a cone style, and a 18.5" med heavy barrel no sight for my vote.

 

[Nine]

The steven's 200 stock.





I'd much rather have the 16" rifle bare in terms of sights, and slap a Leupold VX-II 1-4x20mm or a FX 2.5x20mm as I have used in the past with GREAT results.

 

[Nine]

+1 on this but a cone style

As on the 10FP PC, it's a factory option VS my 10FPLE1A ball.

 

[Brocolt]

yep that is why I'm on the hunt to change mine out for a coned bolt I like it better. I might be doing a few changes to my new 10FCP gun including a stock change got a hankerin for a Bell & Carlson stock

 

[homer76]

That 223 sounds interesting as well.

This custom run of firearms is starting to become very repetitive and is getting old Savage.yuk.
