I'm going to church up a Savage 111, 300 win mag DOA Hunter XP for my wife. It's was going to be for Christmas but with her first elk tag in Nov and it's a Bull tag in Nv I've decided to get it started now.

I ordered the rifle from my gun smith today it will be here by Friday. He will be installing a muzzle brake and lapping rings. I will be sending the the stock out for a custom paint job to a shop in Kansas City Mo. I wanted to have it hydro dipped but couldn't find the film that I wanted. These guys do awesome work from what I've seen and the cost isn't too bad, not as cheap as hydrodipping but it will be worth it when I see the look on the wife's face.

I'll post up pics as the build comes together. This is by no means a "build" just a few little things to make the rifle unique for my wife.

Me too. I know she will slip off her seat when she sees it. I'll post a pic of what the pattern will be that they did on another rifle.

Some will love it others will hate it! Lol

That's funny. I am in the process of putting a new rifle together for my wife and I. Hope it is adjustable enough for us both to use. Nothing as fun as that in our plans.

That is the best stock paint I have ever seen! I made the mistake of showing it to my wife, and now she wants one like it. Great looking rifle!
