I've built a number of custom rifles based on Savage actions out of dire necessity where money was no object. (building 250 yard slug rifles, actually) Unfortunately the best and highest priced solutions to Savage action problems are not very good options. Huge pain in the ass. $3000-$4000 at the end of the journey and countless hours invested. Feed issues. Custom triggers. Custom bolt knobs. Rebarrels. Custom stocks. Pillar bedding. Glassing. Headspacing. Bolt sleeves. Numerous modifications to the trigger guards. Frustrations with the safeties. Excessive inletting required on some of the configurations reducing durability.

I don't envy your journey, but you will learn quite a lot through the endeavor.

I'm having flashbacks of the miseries I've endured watching this build progress. I'm grateful I'll never have to build another one.
