I have been reading/studying the Precision Rifle Series blog for a while and recently picked up a Savage 12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor as my first entry into the precision/tactical bolt gun world.
This is a heavy rifle but I plan to run it as is with a few exceptions such as adding bottom metal for magazines and threading the barrel for a Thunder Beast can.
I was reading the Atlas vs Harris thread (https://www.ar-15.co/showthread.php?t=145489) and plan to go with an Atlas (currently have a non-swivel 6-9" Harris borrowed from my varmint rifle). That being said, the H&S stock only has one swivel stud. How complex is it to drill for a Pic mount and still maintain the barrel float tolerance? I plan to use a mount that incorporates a push button QD mount for the sling.
The rest of the build will include Badger base/rings, and a SWFA SS 12x42 scope. If the budget allows down the road, I may look at a chassis and fancy variable power, but for the street price of this bolt gun, with components listed, I should be right at or under 2k in total cost excluding the can.
