Tina has been tossing around the idea of a larger caliber rifle for Elk size game and called Savage Customer Service to see if they would build another model 111 Lady Hunter with a few tweaks.
They transferred her to a nice lady named Effie Sullivan. Tina thought she had heard that name before.

Effie remembered Tina by name because she helped build Tina's Savage 111 Lady Hunter .257 Roberts. Matter of fact, she has Tina's picture of the rifle and her 2022 Wyoming Pronghorn on the board in her office.
Effie has worked for Savage for 45 years, and played a major role in developing the Lady Hunter. While chatting she asked Tina what she had in mind. Caliber 30-06, slightly longer and heavier barrel, engine turned bolt, threaded muzzle, wider forend, etc. To each request, her reply was "Sure, we can do that".
At this point Tina was thinking the cost might be climbing beyond reason. We have been toying with the idea of assembling a 30-06 from parts to fit her, and for something similar $2,500 was what we came up with. Effie said this factory custom shop rifle with every bell and whistle Tina could think of would total around $1,300., and delivery in 6-8 weeks.
Next June we'll be joining @Green Chile for a group hunt with @MATTANJA HUNTING SAFARIS and this rifle might be the ticket for the Bushbuck Tina plans to hunt.
Absolutely fantastic customer service and personal attention by Savage Arms. If it shoots sub half inch groups like the last one we ordered, there's going to be a very nice Bushbuck in the salt next July.
