How to Build or Rebarrel a Savage Rifle


I recently had the pleasurable experience of building my own custom target/long range rifle.  Perhaps the most impressive part of my rifle is that it cost considerably less to build than buying a new Remington Sendero from Cabelas. Depending on what you want to do with the rifle it might cost a lot less.

5 Round Accurate Mag magazine .308 for DBM
Aftermarket detachable bottom metal for bolt actions has become more and more popular over the last few years. Many different manufactures now make them. The most popular aftermarket DBM (Detachable Bottom Metal)  systems use Accuracy International (AI) magazines. For a long time AI mags were the only ones available to fit your rifle if you had this style of DBM system. AI mags are excellent and reliable magazines, but a little spendy.
BML Tool & Mfg Corporation is a large manufacture of OEM firearms parts and accessories. They make parts and pieces for large gun companies and the military. They own and control Accurate Mag, an OEM magazine manufacturing facility. Accurate Mag is producing state-of-the-art magazines that fit the AI mag footprint. As an interesting side-note, Accurate Mag is the OEM manufacture for the Savage magazines used in the Savage 10 BAS-K, 10 BAT/S-K, and the Savage 110 BA.
