Truck gun

Looks like that will make a good truck gun.

Congrats.

Savage makes a great bolt action rifle for the money. Hard to beat their accuracy out of the box. The finish they put on their barrels holds up to abuse much better than traditional bluing IMO.

I need to get some more quality time with mine. It's been feeling a little left out since the Henry BB hit the safe.

That Savage is a good choice for what you wanted.

Looks like the perfect truck gun. And I am sure it will shooting just fine once you get done.
Now if it was a "Muddy Girl" stock I would have to say it was downright ugly.

I am just about to the final work being done on my Savage Axis "truck gun". I mounted the Nikon scope on it today with Weaver rings and bases. I then decided with the weather being nice to take it back apart and give the stock a little makeover. I may get a few laughs from this but I like it better than the black plastic look. I then laid it beside my friends and took a picture of them for my friends here to see what they think. The last little project before shooting it will be to Acra-glass a 3/8" dia. aluminum rod in the barrel channel to give it some extra strength to take any flex out of it. I will have to Dremel a groove in the plastic gussets in the stock to get it low enough so the barrel won't hit it. Should not be to bad a job. Here is my Savage in front of my friends. You can say it is uglier now than before and I won't get mad. Replies welcome.

I think that looks pretty good. Nice work on the camo job.

I got a Remington 7615 that was a police trade in. I think it would make a great truck gun.



This isn't mine, but It's exactly the same.

I think that would make a good truck gun. I would scope it with a Leupold 2-7 or a 3-9 compact. How does it shoot?

[daytime dave]

It is great with the set up I have. It has a rear ghost ring. It had the pistol grip, but I put the traditional stock on it. I can shoot great out to 75 or 100 yds with only the iron sights. That Leupold would really be an asset I think.

I like it because it is so like my beloved 870. That's really the reason it came to be. It was a patrol rifle that would need little extra training for police already schooled on the 870. Now, it seems the AR platform is all the rage. Oh well, the department that traded it in is at a loss that is now my gain.
