Nick's Savage & Stuff Page

NEW! A page for my new lathe and machining stuff. I also threw in some pics of the 200 ton press I built in Summer 98, and a pic or two of my pickup.

Here is Savage's pic of my rifle, a model 12FV chambered in .22-250

Chucks beware....

A few pics of my rifle, bad scans.

Man, this rifle will SHOOT SWEET!

The current accessories and ammo used in my gun:

• B-Square bipod
• Super Sling
• Weaver Bases
• Burris Signature Zee scope rings
• Hornady V-Max ammo
• Burris FullField 6-18x40 AO Scope
• Dewey coated cleaning rod
• World's cheapest bore guide (I took a piece of once-fired brass and drilled a hole through the primer pocket. The hole is a few thousandths larger than my cleaning rod. The hole was drilled on center easily by using my new lathe.)

Modifications I have done to my rifle:

• Lightend the trigger pull as per instructions linked to below.
• Modified trigger spring adjustment screw to allow for finer adjustment by adding 2 additional slots. (Also described in the trigger adjustment link below).
• Added second swivel stud for sling, factory swivel stud now used for mounting bipod. There is a mounting boss for a second stud molded into the factory synthetic stock, so I simply drilled it out and installed the stud.
• Replaced forend screw with a fitted stainless steel socket head cap screw.
• Free-floated the barrel by removing stock material near mouth of barrel channel because of barrel/stock contact.
• Deburred scope base thread holes for perfect action/base engagement.

Here is a link to the instructions for adjusting the trigger for the Savage 110 family of rifles.

My University, where 3/4 of my year and all of my money go.

I am currently a sophomore and majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Life sucks right now, classes are tough and exams are next to impossible. A favorite catch phrase among myself and my friends in engineering... "Engineering: One hard kick in the balls after another." That about sums it up.
