Although not a truley Custom rifle the Savage LE102b is a bargain with the Accutrigger which is probably the best trigger other than athe Anshutz Trigger on the market, Barrels are very well built .The action is the same since 1962 and is very strong.It come with a McMillan A3 stock which is a far superior stock to the HS and AIC sysytems .I believe that this pakage sells for arround 1100.00 leaving you a good chunk of money for a decent scope
 
Personally I don't like the ccutrigger.
Savage has changed their bolt head system since 60's .

But the Savage can be used for a platform for a good custom, for sure!
Acccseory triggers, stocks, precision recoil lugs, etc., are all readilly available.
It is likely the cheapestr way to go for a custom ....

I bought a 10FP-LE2B with the McMillan stock, it's a great rifle, paid $1079.00 for it from Wholesale Sports 2 years ago. In the 2005-2006 catalogue it's listed at $1039.95. I highly recommend it ,espacialy the LE2B with the McMillan stock:cool:

For that price I'd say go with the Savage. Alberta Tactical Rifle might be able to do somthing with a provided rifle, but I imagine the price would be somewhat higher.
 
PGW makes great actions. There Steve. Someone had to say it ;-)

DJ, what you have not said is what do you want to use the rifle for and the cartridge you want to shoot. There are so many 'right' answers depending on the question you are asking. Conversely, there are so many components that are not well suited to certain tasks.

You could have the perfect rig for $600 or $6000.

More info needed.

I thought the Savage LE2B came with the A2 MCM stock?

Bushnell 3200 250.00
TPS Rings 100.00
Well in you 1700.00 price tag.


I built a Mauser 98 308 target for well under 1300.00
 
Custom Rifle

Here is what I am looking at, have not made up my mind fully

Lijia barrel (6.5mm, 1 in 8 twist) $345
PGW Actions M15 short action $1300 or
Armtech accurized Rem 700 $750
Macmillian A5 Stock + Accesories $500

Total ~ $1596 - $2100 for parts + gunsmith fees
 
As a thought, I see many projects using McM stocks in tactical configurations. At once, I see no point in a full meal deal BR action. Not because they don't help in accuracy, they do, but because the tolerances can put the rifle in trouble IF used as a rough and tumble rifle.

I also see limited use for a top ranked barrel. It will never be used to its fullest potential. Plus, many are bored undersize which can cause issues with many non match quality bullets.

The subtleties of BR accuracy are totally lost on a bipod rested, field rig. You will not see much if any benefit based on the equipment and costs. The stock/bipod alone will hurt your ability to shoot the rifles best. Don't believe me, just have a look at any and all tactical forums or articles where the owners of these mega dollar rigs are thrilled with their 1/4 to 1/2 MOA rifles.

If 1/4 MOA was the best a rifle could do, you will not 'survive' in the BR world. Many off the shelf rifles with load work up and a bit of tuning will shoot 1/2 MOA or better.

1/2 MOA in real world field LR shooting is nothing to sneeze at. That's hitting clays everytime at 800yds.

No matter how good the barrel, the chamber and its specs will determine your ultimate accuracy. Most chambers reamers just don't shoot BR accurate. Meaning, the best barrel in the world with a so so chamber will only shoot so so. Same goes for bullets.

Work backwards from what you actually want this rifle to do and how you are going to use it. You might find that a commercial or well prepped military action will do better for your needs. And function better to boot.

So let's say you want an accurate tactical/field/hunting rifle in a 308. Pick up a Savage 10FV, drop the accutrigger as light as it will go, bed it and work up a load. Already you have 1/2MOA accuracy, maybe better. Now you have lots of money for optics and a GOOD range finder. That will pay way more dividends in real world accuracy. Error in scope and/or rangefinder will plague you and you will never know it.

At the rate we are losing BCRA members I would think/hope there would be some pretty nice rifles going up for sale somewhere. It would be nice to know that the kit is getting circulated back into the shooting community, especially for new shooters.

I've seen a few deals with enfield actioned target rifles or Sportco's for sale for under $500. All have had good triggers, sights and were scope-able.

Death Junky this is just an opinion here, but from what I have seen in the options you would like to put in your rifle you will be well over 4 grand by the time you are done.

I think Mystic gave you some excellent advice and for the budget you have stated should take a very good look at what he suggests and put any extra bucks into optics,unless you have other plans for it you haven't mentioned. But as I mentioned, this is just an opinion.

I've heard bad things about the Daly Mauser actions from Rick (ATR). He said to avoid them like the plague due to QC issues. I'm inclined to believe him.
 
DJ, if you are going with a Daly Mauser, then save your money and just buy a sporterized WWII Mauser for $100 at the next gunshow and work on that. Parker Hales are excellent and the Midland makes for a great base rifle. Better yet, go with a sporterized P14 Enfield if sticking to the WM.

If you want a commercial action and something that can make a competitive comp rifle, then the best choice today is the Savage 110. You can get the FV in a 300WM and restock (although the factory stock works very well with proper bedding). When you burn that barrel out, you can put a better tube on it if you choose, however I think you will be very happy with the 1/2 MOA that Savage can provide.

That tactical stock is neat looking but will not help your groups off the bags at all. You never specified what comp you wanted to shoot in but unless everyone is forced to use a bipod and hand rear rests, you will be at a huge disadvantage.

Today, there are many things that do exactly the same thing (sometimes the same part) but cost very differently. I call that BLING- performance that only goes skin deep.

Decide which is more important to you. A shooting rig or a pretty rig. Sometimes you might even get a pretty shooting rig.

It's your money.
