Savage 840 project

Got my first coat of oil on the stock. I’ll give it a little while and then hit it with some steel wool to fill the grain in.

Great guns. They shoot cast bullets fantastically.

Four coats on the stock so far. I’ll post some more pics this evening.

So far so good.

The barreled action is going to my gunsmith Thursday morning. He’s going to mic the barrel to see if it can be threaded and I’m going to see what my options are for an alternative to the side mounted scope base. I’m not crazy about that setup.

A 5/8x24 thread job and a scout rail are in the works. Now it’s time to start looking into a good Scout scope.

Scout scope is enroute as of today. I found a good deal on a Vortex 2-7 Scout Scope. My barreled action should be back from the gunsmith’s one day this week.

Been a while since I updated. I had an issue with getting the correct replacement screws for the recoil lug and barrel band. I finally got it assembled. I decided to hold off on threading it. I have enough 30 cal hosts and I wanted this one to stay light and maneuverable.

Very nice
