Top notch build. How’s it shoot? I really love manners stocks. They have a certain feel that fits me better than most others

Very nice!!!!!
So you bought a 7.62x39 action or a whole rifle and made this?
I am interested in doing something like this for a LH bolt action 6.5G

It does not need to be 7.62x39 as all you need to do is change the bolt head on savage short actions to ppc,

This is what I did and changed it out myself, plenty of youtube vids to help.

Good 2 know.
So once your ordered the PPC bolt face it goes right onto a Savage action?
Did you buy the $69.50 one or the custom $94.50 model?

I brought the $69.50 one, fitted it myself to the existing bolt. Be sure to order the lefty version in ppc bolt face.
I also brought a ATLAS WORKS bottom metal and 223 accurate mag and modified it.
If you like MDT CHASSIS it is the easiest way to go or bed the action and bottom metal in the existing or after market stock..
I use both, plastic savage stock for backpack hunting and it goes back in the chassis when im done.
So any savage left handed short action will do, I also have a zastava m85 7.62x39 converted to grendel in right handed for my son.
Looking for one of these in lefty as a light weight hunting rifle for myself, cut to 16-18' and suppress.

Plenty of options!!!

I bought the rifle new, then bought a bartlein Barrel and sent it to sent it Sharp Shooter Supply.
I then ordered a manners stock and had them inlet the stock and install the barreled action from SSS.
I then sent it to CDI to finish inletting. If you go the savage route then you may want to move the bolr release from the front of the trigger guard to the right side of the action. If you stick with the accustock then it does not matter.
