Mr6.5 · 2024-10-08T17:09:11-0700

Finished my 28 Nosler build today. Cut the chamber, threaded the shank and the muzzle break. Bead blasted the barrel and inletted the stock.

SPECS

Action: Savage 116 All Weather (300 Win Mag Donor)
Stock: Bell and Carlson full aluminum bed
Barrel: McGowen Stainless 1:8 Twist Sendero profile 27 Inches long
Scope: Meopta 5x30 Optika6

I did a trigger job, it is a glass rod breaking 2lbs. I made a slight modification to the original 300 WinMag magazine to feed the nosler round perfectly

Nice looking rifle.
Looks to be on a Savage action. What are the details of your build?

I recently picked up a Savage 116 in .300 Win mag. It simply would not group to my liking so I decided to build a 28N on it. Pulled it all apart blue printed the action, ordered a profiled barrel blank (McGowen 1:8 27") and chambered and threaded on my lathe. Set the headspace snug. I really like the Bell and Carlson stocks with the full aluminum reinforcement bedding so I ordered one for this build. Not sure what other details to give besiders what I posted originally but if you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer them. Cheers!
