Azjeeper Report post Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks it started out as one of those cheap package rifles with the 3x9 scope. I got it duracoated changed the bolt handle upgraded the scope then the stock of coarse; then glass bedding and got rid of the horrible stock trigger. I got a lot of info on the savageshooters web forum to. Savages can be built into some great rifles. Hopefully Ill be able to get a deer this year with it. p.s stockade does make a thumbhole stock, if you do decide to go with them expect a really long wait time time but its worth it and the owner/stockmaker is a real good guy.

STOMP442 Report post Posted September 26, 2012 I have built quite a few savages with Boyds stocks and all of them have been drop in ready to go stocks. The only place you really need to watch is the tang area. Savages prefer their tang to be floated some light sanding may be needed in this area but it is quick and simple. Pillar and glass bed for best results. The light weight laminate from Boyds only weighs 2.5 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
