Got my savage 110 action cleaned and ready for ceracoating. Ordered my barrel today also. It will be a 308 110 LA with Shilen 26" barrel. The long action will allow bullets to be seated as far as need to be. Scope will be Leupold Mark 4, 4.5-14x50 with 20 moa picatinny base. I have also polished the trigger and action and both are smooth as glass. Still debating on stock , can't wait to get it all together, I'll try and update with pics as project progresses. Action cleaned and ready for coating

Is it a hunting or target build? What bullets and powder are you thinking of using? And yes, keep the pics coming.
83% of all statistics are made up.

It will be hunting/target combo, I'll be using 155 and 168 AMax for targets out to 1000, and 150 SST, Ballistic Tips for hunting. Varget, H380 on the powders.

Thanks Clark , I hope it does what it suppose to. How meticulous are you in a build like that? Did you bed the stock with pillars? Did you bed the rail? Lap the rings? I've been using rubber cement on my rings since John Barsness said that's what he does to keep from lapping them.

Stock was already bedding I did a slight fill in to tighten the action and the lug up. It all fits very tight. I'm planning on purchasing a choate ultimate sniper to put on it which is a v block design. I also lapped the locking lugs with lapping compound. I basically did everything I was capable of doing without a lathe to square the bolt and action.

Look at the Stockys tactical stocks much better than the choate

After helping out neighbors after the tornado I was able to get a little range time in here are the first results at 100. The first number is group and the second number is number of rounds. All were 168 gr AMax over 46grs of Varget. I am really impressed with this combo so far as some groups were on the .1's and .2's. And it is not even broken in good. Cleaned after each shot 1-5 and then after ever 5, per Shilen break in procedure. First target 2nd target I decided to try a 5 shot group of 150 nosler ballistic tips, they weren't as tight as the AMaxes but were not even loaded to the barrel, still not bad though
