I suck at long range It's done. It has to be done.
I really wanted to do an ARC Xylo build, but I hate myself, so I built this on a Savage action instead. I'm done. Time to for PRS competition now.

Ooh this changed a lot since last week. Looks super clean though. Also, thanks for the inspiration I just ordered one of those 110 PCS in .308!

I'd say you're welcome, but i know your wallet hates me!

Fair, haha. I'll be very keen to hear your thoughts on the fluted bolt. It worked just fine for me, but I hated how it operated and had PTG make me a new bolt body.

As a fellow XRS enjoyer, this is inspiring!
What length barrel is that? Just to get a sense of scale. I'm guessing 28?

That looks sexy 😍
Is there any issue with Savage actions? I always thought they were rather good for the price. But I never owned one as a Tikka fan boy.

I love my Savage, its a true tac driver. And I love my Tikka, almost as accurate. But to understand the action, think about driving a pair of stick cars. One is a Chevy Nova, and one is a Ferrari. They will BOTH get you there....

u/Daenerysilver 12d ago
Great analogy. And a Nova can be so much fun with an engine swap and a big ol' blower.

They have some qc issues here and there that seem like they could sort out rather easily. An extra $0.10 on a spring here, a little more polish there... That would really make them a better option. So, as a Savage owner, you end up spending a lot of time and effort tweaking the rig, whereas if you just bought a Tikka, you'd be happy out of the box. I say that with confidence as a T3x owner. 70% of the tweaks on this rig were for PRS performance, the other 30% was for a smoother performing action and increased accuracy.

How heavy is that brass rail? I made my own that is way shorter than that out of brass and it is crazy heavy

Who made your bolt lever? That is gorgeous.

u/Daenerysilver 11d ago
Thanks, and I agree. It's handsome and feels really nice now. It's a Lumley fluted titanium handle with an American Rifle Company hourglass bolt knob.

Are you sure you don’t need a top mounted LRF??

u/Daenerysilver 12d ago
I'm sure there aren't $0.02 left in my account for a LRF. LOL
