Search brought up nothing.
Anyone familiar with them ?
I spec'd out a 7mm-08 all matt stainless, "peppered" wood stock, 20" barrel with threads. Timmney trigger.
Price is $1465.00 and $50.00 shipping.
Build time says at least 10 months.

Bought a couple of Shaw Savage prefit barrels back in the day they were excellent shooters.

I've handled a couple of their rifles, but have no mileage shooting them. That said, I have used their barrels on several budget builds and those have all been good shooters.

The rifles are based on a modified Savage action labeled for Shaw. I assume they contract with Savage. Better fit, finish, and stock than a factory Savage, but otherwise, felt just like a Savage. The ones I saw were shouldered barrels, so no nut, and they were in walnut stocks. Not sure who makes their stocks, but they look like Keystone rather than Boyds.

For the money, I think they are not a bad value to get something semi-custom if you are good with that action. If you start optioning it toward the $2000 price point, I'd look elsewhere.
