I just put this rifle together but another build has peaked my interest, so I figured I’d test the waters.
This rifle started out as a Savage Model 11 Lightweight Hunter in 260 Rem. I used it for a few years and killed a few deer with it. I recently sent the barreled action to Shaw Custom Barrels to have them rebarrel the action to 7mm-08. They did a fantastic job, fit and finish is great.
The barrel is 22 inches in their #2.5 contour with helical fluting and a 11 degree crown. It’s got a 1-9.5” twist rate.
I installed Warne bases and put the barreled action into a Bell and Carlson M40 stock. I have not bedded the action yet. The rifle weighs 7 lbs 5 oz according to my scale. The triggers breaks right at 3 lbs.
Shaw fired a test round to check for function but I have not shot the rifle since it has been rebarreled. I plan to shoot it and do barrel break in once the weather gets better this spring but figured I’d post it for sale in the meantime. I’m asking $1000 shipped if your FFL will accept from an individual, otherwise add $75 for sending through my FFL.
Here’s some pics, let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
