willhunt4coues Report post Posted December 1, 2009 Thumb hole stocks are the way to go TRUST me they increase your accuracy and help manage some recoil with a great feel in the palm of your hand. If you are going to buy a new stock you have GOT to get a Boyds thumb hole. Am I sensing a bit of sarcasm here Clay? I've never shot with a thumbhole stock before. --Bill No sarcasm here I am just letting you know from my personal experience. It helped me lots I am not saying you need help I am just informing everyone that it does help if you need it and if you don't it still feels good. I could sure use the help with accuracy . The .243 doesn't move much at the shot, and I was hoping that a stock like this would make it even steadier. Just curious if it put too much recoil on the hand. Looks like I will have to find a way to order one up soon. Thanks Guys, --Bill It actually distribute the recoil evenly every where.....You won't be dissapointed.

tontotom Report post Posted December 2, 2009 Give us more, what scope, mounts- How did it go together. Why did you choose Savage? The gun looks great and sounds like it will shoot as well. Great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ_Chris Report post Posted December 2, 2009 I'd suggest trying a Snipepod on that rifle too. They seem a little more versatile compared to the Harris bipods I've tried. I have a Snipepod on my .30-06 and I really like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
