stalkincoues Report post Posted July 23, 2018 SOLD Stainless Savage 116 LWH in 270 Win. W/20 barrel. I have not fired this yet. Ive done the following to it and is ready to shoot now. -Filled hollow butt section with expanding foam, made a huge difference. Very dense, no more hollow sounds and feels as dense as the rest of the stock. -Used Devcon to bed rear of nut, recoil lug, front and rear of action, floated the tang a little more to make sure of proper clearance. -Bedded 2 sections of carbon arrows along length of forearm in epoxy to stiffen forearm portion. I stopped at rear of sling swivel nut as I was going to mortise a bipod adapter later. Made a big difference and decreased stock flex a lot which will help accuracy. I did all this to a prior plastic stocked Savage and shot well under .25moa and shot a .018 with it. I have no doubt this will be as accurate as all my other Savages have been. Doing all this only added 3.5oz, I feel this small amount of weight will pay off in accuracy and recoil absorption/reduction. I ran the ballistics with the Hornady 145gr ELD-X Precision hunter ammo and was actually pretty decent for a 270 20 barrel. Would make a great backpack gun, or get a prefit barrel for it. I was going to order a #1 280AI or fast twist 270 and shoot the new Berger 170s but I need to finish a couple other builds instead. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/mobile/product/719021054/redirect Asking $575 $550 $525 may consider partial trade on a .284 1:8.7-1:9 bartlein #3, Lilja,#4, Brux #3 etc... NON fluted barrel. I also have 3 boxes of the Hornady Precision hunter ammo, 145grn ELD-X that Ill sell to the buyer for an additional $70, that I was going to use to break in gun and fire form brass. If I dont sell this by the next time I go shooting I may just take this and see how it does, been pretty anxious to shoot it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
