I had forgotten about this thread quite some time ago and in the mean time built a little handy carbine myself. Shooting lefty there usually aren't a lot of factory options that fit just right. I took the opportunity to make myself one. This started as a plain Jane Savage model 11Gl in .243. I obtained a factory takeoff detachable box mag stock and converted it to lefty and cut down the length of pull, relocated the swivel studs, ground down the pad and bedded it. I Tuned the trigger and made a lighter trigger spring and a bolt lift kit. Found a takeoff .308 sporter barrel and had it cut down to 16" threaded and braked. I went ahead and installed some Weaver rings and bases and a 3-9x vortex viper I had laying around. Light weight and handy it's just 37" overall.
