Last night I was reading about building off a Savage action and when my wife asked I told her it would be fun. She didn't give me the usual look of crazyness. (she is a great woman) To me that is a sign saying go ahead and start looking and learning.
From what I read, I need a short or long action depending on what cal I go with. I also see that if I go Stevens 200, I would need to upgrade the trigger where the Savages can be upgraded but have the Accu-Trigger. I also see what a recoil lug upgrade would help when putting it together. Lastly, I see that I need a barrel vise, and some tools. (barrel wrench and a few others) With that, where does a guy find an action? Is there a list of short action and long action cals? What about a list of bolt face sizes?
What else is there to know about doing this?
