I like that color scheme, or at least the way its showing up. Nice rig.

Not digging the colors but everything else is sweet. Guess you could always change up the colors later.

I like it

Thanks guys. I'll put up a report once I shoot it. The colors do look a lot better in person. Its way greener in the pics than it really is.

I'm still waiting on my mount for the bipod but otherwise it's ready to go.

Looks good man. I don't know about the color scheme, I think I'll need to see it in person and shoot it to really appreciate the colors

You mind me asking what the total build ran you? Id like to do something similar with a Mcmillan stock in 300wm. I'll probably do desert camo with matching fde barrel and action

Nice rifle and caliber, I bet it is a tack driver! Does look like Helen Keller painted it, but if it shoots well who cares?

True that! I promise the paint looks way, way better in person. When I go to the range, I'll take an outdoor pic of it and post up.

Anyway, if looks mattered that much than nobody would shoot a Savage. I'm just kidding.



Total between parts and work, everything off the shelf would come out a little over 3K. I don't have that much in it since I traded for a lot of the parts but if you were to go buy everything that's about what you'd be looking at. That's counting optics but figuring on buying a used action. If you bought a rifle off the shelf, figure on a little more.

I may upgrade the scope to something with HD glass eventually but overall I think I will be very pleased with the 3-15. That's the only thing I could see myself changing about it. It would have to be a very significant upgrade though, like an S&B or a Henzholt.

Little late but as promised, some outdoor pics. The color really is a lot better in person.



I haven't got a good pic of a group yet but here's one of my load workup. Looks like 38.7 gr varget will work good with this load which is a 150 gr Nosler ballistic tip hunting. #4 is 38.6 and #5 is 38.8. I'm going to load 38.7 and go for groups now that I think I'm close. The horizontal spread is mostly due to the 10 mph gusting crosswind that I had when I was shooting this weekend.

Awesome set up!

Oh that looks nice, I want a 7mm-08 so bad.

He ain't HEAVY, He's my Brother!!!

ouch!!

Love the spiral barrel
