desertbowhunter Report post Posted August 24, 2012 Anyone have any experience with these I was thinking of putting a thumbhole feather lite on my savage 111 in 7mm rem mag. I would appreciate any input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted August 24, 2012 They are nice but they are not exactly a drop in stock. There will be work to do to get it to fit right. The holes will line up but you would be advised to bed the action to the stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azgutpile Report post Posted August 24, 2012 Laminated stocks don't tend to be all that light; however, they are know to make great stocks. Take the time and bed it with pillars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
200"mulie Report post Posted August 24, 2012 A+ buddy said he ordered one for his .270 and fit perfect and actually made his groups little tighter. I just ordered one for my 270 short mag and fit perfectly ...i just have to field test it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertbowhunter Report post Posted August 24, 2012 Cool so should I pillar bed it or glass bed it? Boyd's has a galas bedding kit for 30 bucks. Or do I just get the stock to fit and I'm good to go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azgutpile Report post Posted August 24, 2012 You might no be able to tell the diffrence between bedding with pillars or without, but if you decide to bed it you might as well do pillars as well. I'm now a fan of bedding my actions after it tightened up my groups on both of the rifles. My kimber Montana went from 1" groups down to 1/2 groups. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azjeeper Report post Posted August 27, 2012 If your putting a new stock on a Savage the best way to go in my opinion is Stockade Gun Stocks they have quite a few models to choose from they are all hand made and can be had in any color you want. Wait times are long but the company pretty much primarily makes stocks for Savage. When I replaced the tupperware stock on my model 111 I considered everything from boyd to mcmillan. I would defineatly check them out. www.stockadegunstocks.com The owner is a real nice guy to great customer service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

200"mulie Report post Posted August 27, 2012 www.stockadegunstocks.com ya i would def. check them out for your savage. i only have winchester and dropped in perfect with boyds. I dont have a savage, so it may not simply drop in you might have to work on some as stated on boyd's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
