Eliseo Offers S1 Tubegun Kit for Savage Actions
This ain’t your grandpa’s Savage… that’s for sure. Gary Eliseo, innovative designer/builder of the B1, R1, R5, and RT10 tubegun kits, has been working on a top-secret, single-shot prone rifle based on the Savage Target Action. The prototype has been finished and tested. Eliseo tells us: “Here’s the S1 prototype stock for the new Savage LR Target action I’m now currently testing. It’s chambered in 6BRX, so far it’s performing very well.”
The new Eliseo S1 features a drop-in Savage Target Action that bolts to a milled aluminum sub-chassis. The prototype retains the factory Savage Accutrigger, and Savage bolt handle. There is a +20 MOA extended scope rail fitted to the top of the receiver, while a fully adjustable CSS (Competition Shooting Stuff) stock with cheekpiece is attached at the rear. Because the mounting socket for the buttstock is part of the chassis, the S1 will allow very short length of pull, so this rifle would be ideal for juniors as well as adults. The S1 prototype uses a conventional barrel with a shoulder, but Gary says the kit will work with a barrel nut system. This means S1 owners can install “pre-fit” barrels using a barrel nut.
Interested? Better tell Santa soon. Eliseo says he expects to have the first S1 production models ready for delivery “by Christmas time”. The full S1 kit, with CSS buttstock, will cost $925.00 not including action, barrel, or scope. To place an order, call (714) 630-5734, or email order.info [at] competitionshootingstuff.com .
Certainly looks great! Unless I am not seeing it correctly, it does not appear like the traditional tube guns that have a sleeve surrounding the action to which the forward hand guard and rear stock attaches. It looks like it has more of a Tubb Gun type design where (I assume) the hand guard attaches somehow to the barrel nut and the rear stock attaches to the action. In any case, the whole package looks great and certainly reflects Elesio’s typical “out of the box thinking” and innovation.

Thanks Robert, your right, because of the trigger design of the Savage, I went with a chassis system, the handguard attaches similar to a T2K, the ergos are the same as the tube gun along with the accuracy.

Gary,
I have a Savage 10 chambered in The Sherman Short 6.5 SS. This is as you would imagine a wildcat cartridge built off the 7mm Saum and necked down. I have added the magnum bolt head that is required for short action magnum round. .545 bolt face dia. as best I recall.
My question is do you have a chassis that will fit that action. It is also a left hand action.
