Couple questions about Savage rifle

[kjeff91]

I just picked up a Savage 110 Tactical in 6.5 Creedmoor and have a couple questions.

- I thought the 10 vs 110 was short action vs long action, and that 6.5 CM was short action. I'm looking at getting a chassis (probably an Oryx), do I order LA or SA?

- Is there a decent aftermarket trigger that's highly recommended?

- I took the stock off to do a quick rattle can job. What do I need to torque the bolts back to on reinstall? Is there anything special I need to do to ensure proper operation of the rifle?

- I've been told to snag back up extractor and ejector in case they go out. Anything else I should replace or upgrade?

Measure the bolt spacing.
new short action at 4.40.

Target trigger spring works well and there’s a few aftermarket options

action screw torque depends on stock/chassis.

tactical works extraction upgrade is nice.

Thanks for the info. Is the a guide on measuring bolt spacing?

They dropped the 10/110 SA/LA scheme and started calling them all 110 if I am not mistaken. You would want a S/A chassis most likely.
Measure center to center of the bolt holes on the action.

Any inlb torque wrench should suffice.

If it's a plastic stock, hope you didn't get it shooting good before taking it off and putting it back on. 25 in lbs is all you need for the plastic stock.

Took mine off because barrel was making contact with stock, so I shaved some off. Took about 40 rounds and loosening/tightening screws to 25 in lbs multiple times to get back to shooting sub moa. A better stock/chassis will fix that problem.

It's the Accustock, but still waiting for my scope so I haven't done anything yet.

Just guessing but most likely means 25 in lbs

just FYI before you start torquing

you could always find a wood stock to drop the barrel and action in if you don't like the plastic have seen others doing that and they shoot darn good .

Shit, good catch, that would be catastrophic

That stock looks light years nicer than the stock that was on my 11XP

All my accustock rifles are 35 in lbs on the front bolt and 30 on the rear.

I've got the Oryx on my old Savage 10 FV 308. Nice stock.
