Savage Freaks Show Your Savages!!!!

Here's another. A forlorn Savage that I picked up at the House of Hock. It looked all bedraggled in it's Tacticool glory. I got it for a song, and no, the stock didn't fit the action. When I bought it, it had only one action bolt.

So, I took it home, disassembled everything, and placed a call to Savage. They sent me a new magazine box, a stock, and some action bolts. I went to work with some paint stripper and some 00 steel wool, and in a day or so, the box from Savage arrived. It's now a basic, plain-jane .308 with a blind magazine synthetic stock.

That's better, don't you think? It likes 150 grain SST bullets pushed to over 2900 fps with Power Pro 2000 MR powder and manages to keep them well inside an inch of the aiming point. It wears a 2.5X10 Weaver scope. I haven't made meat with it yet, but this year will be coming soon.
