Custom Savage Long Range Build in 6.5-284 Norma

Recommended Posts

Just finished building this one up for a buddy of mine. He wants this as his primary Coues gun to go long with. I love me a 6.5 and this one turned out really good. This was my first try at gun kote and I got to say that stuff works pretty good. Here are the specs and pics

 

Savage Model 111 action pillar and glass Bedded

28" Criterion (made by Krieger) varmint contour barrel 1-8 twist

Boyds Light weight Varminter Stock in Forest Camo

Stock Accutrigger set to 2 pounds

Luepold Vari X III 6.5-20x50 Long Range scope

Burris Signature 30mm Zee rings.

Matte O.D. Green Brownells Aerosol Gun Kote.

Weight = 6 pounds

 

Started out looking like this minus the scope.

looks good. I have a hard time believing it weighs 6lbs though, especially with that varmint contoured barrel.

I am guessing it weighed 6lbs without a scope and before it went on steroids!
