Custom Savage 270 update "almost finished" let's hear what you think!!!!

[piratebob64]

It started life as an early model plain Jane 110 Savage in 270. Synthetic stock, 24" tapered pencil barrel.
What I have done:
Replaced the barrel with a McGowan 22" varmint profile (medium heavy) barrel 1/10 twist ,deep recessed 11* crown matte blue finish
boyds pro varmint stock
fish eye fluted bolt
tactical bolt handle
Waiting on a new timeny trigger
DNZ scope mount
and bead blast the reciever and reblue.
Right know it has the standard two peice mount 4×12×50mm weaver scope.
The weight as is unloaded is 7 1/2 lbs not too bad!

Looks good in pics.
The specs look good "on paper."
But what I want to know is, how much have you improved its performance?
Did you do some serious bench-rest shooting in the factory configuration before you started replacing stuff?
With a variety of handloads or a few kinds of premium .270 Win ammo in various bullet weights?

Did not pull the trigger as it was bought for 250.00 no scope just mounts and DIRTY, I have owned alot of savages and with a little tweeting on hand loads they really perform. I wanted a decent platform to play with. I did not like the 24" barrel and wanted a heavier barrel. I have a couple barrels from McGowan and they are teat barrels. I will post up the data when start shooting it. Will start 140 gr semi factory load.

It's still a Savage.

Remember,
You asked.

Edit;
I see now that wasn't nice.

I'm interested to see how it shoots.

Post Results.

Typical problem is the lack of availability of high BC projectiles for .277: other than cutting edge, which is mucho expensive.

These heavies are very available in 6.5mm and 7mm.

I wish Beeger would offer their high BC bullets in .277.

.270 has been my deer rifle caliber for about 15yrs: to say I'm a .270 fan would be an understatement.

After rereading my post, I see I was a little coarse: that was not my intent OP.
A little harmless Banter,with a touché of honestly was my intent.

Thanks for the Check Sharps40: I also hope you don't mind me using your mama's saying.

Again,
Please share results on how it shoots OP.
