So after a very nice transaction with a forum member I am the proud owner of a very very nice Savage 111 trophy hunter in 30-06 Accutrigger bottom mag release.
The plan is to build a Elk/Bear rifle from this in .35 Whelan (basically a .35 cal -06)
E.R. Shaw Savage replacement barrel in .35 Whelan 4140 Heavy Mag contour (.705" at muzzle) 22" length 1-14 twist Premium Matte Blue finish chambered and chromed
Boyds Classic pattern stock, std grade Walnut, Pachmayr 1" black recoil pad, Black Polymer tip and grip cap, white line spacer with FLEUR DE'LIS PANEL TEXTURE: STIPPLING.
I want to be able to use both my Leupold Vari-X II 3-9X and a reciever mounted peep site and brass post.
For those of you in the know suggestions on the Peep and the bead (I would prefer not to have to dove tail the the barrel I am not opposed to drilling and tapping)
