- Thread starter martinakl
- Start date
Help Support Long Range Hunting Forum
Took 18 long months to get this. The last government shutdown happened right around the time it "should" have gone through. Added many months past the "average" wait time. I can't imagine what's going on now.
I'm waiting on one right now in a different caliber I don't know why am waiting to order my next I should just go ahead and start the second one now I guess I'm just stubborn
At some point, I figure I'll want to upgrade the stock.
As setup from the factory (DBM, bottom bolt release), these are the options I've found. All are going to add weight over factory stock.
HS Precision:
PST129 - Advertised Weight 3.05lbs
PST137 - Advertised Weight 3.95lbs
Manners:
None for long action - per email from Manners
*Short action yes, must order w/ mini chassis
McMillan:
Just one: Mcmillan Savage HTG - Advertised Weight 2.5Lbs
You will have to ship the barreled action and bottom metal for custom fitting.
Per email w/ McMillian
B&C:
Savage Sporter Style - Model #1017 - Advertised Weight 2.25lbs
Likely need to open up the barrel channel a decent amount.
Stockade Stocks
I didn't research enough into these yet. All feedback says they're heavy but quality.
GRS:
Bifrost - A chassis/stock hybrid.
MPI Custom Stocks
This is the only option I can find where you could actually maintain or even reduce weight on the rifle stock. "Sportac" model would be my 1st choice. I'd plan on shipping rifle to them and doing "Complete Restocking ($895) and opt for the "Lightweight Kevlar" option (+$100). With shipping this option would run as much as the rifle. Probably more, as I'd probably upgrade the bottom metal (PTG Stealth or ???).
Boyds:
Many models in a laminae/wood stock.
*Boyds is installing pillars now. Only doing front pillar for this savage.
The "Spike Camp" model with front pillar for $155 has peaked my interest.
About 2lbs.
SharpShooterSupply.com
Laminate stocks
Note:
*In general, Short Actions have way more options but I didn't spend my time on that.
Chassis:
Multiple available but not on my radar. AICS mags could gain some COAL above the ~3.5" from factory magazine.

Stockades are indeed heavy, light sporter is the lightest in weight. They have bedding block and are nice quality, take a while to get. Have several and they work well with bullet proof paint job.
Does the B&C have a bedding block?
Does the B&C have a bedding block?
Do all these stocks mentioned fit with Savages new bottom metal design? I know last I checked about 1.5 years ago it required a new bottom metal.
B&C advertises an aluminum bedding block.
Great question. This is my first savage. It makes sense, as I've read they keep changing stuff and that affects the aftermarket support.
I am listing stocks advertised as center feed, DBM, bottom bolt release. There are other's for stagger feed with blind magazine.

You may have mentioned this already but what optic are you adding?
I'll likely be mounting a Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 6.5-20 I have. It's the "heavy" 34mm tube version at about 30oz +\- (would have to weigh to get exact).
In an ideal world I'd be able to locate a similar scope with FFP, Mil/Mil, Christmas Tree reticle, great glass, all in a package that weighs about 20oz.

Wow scope pushing 2lb's thats hefty.
Watching your posts closely on stock choice, you are very methodical and provide much info. I believe I have a 110 ultralite in my future as well. Like I said early in the other huge thread on the gun, the stock is what I view as a switch out first thing. I love the action and bolt, the shank size and action length are perfect, and the heavy machined lug can be made to fit. Building a doner gun with the proof bbl. results in a lesser gun with more money total invested, like Feenix also mentioned early on the proof bbl. alone accounts for most of the complete rifle cost. The 6.5PRC is an excellent cartridge choice and the skeltonized, coated, and blueprinted, large shank action with fluted bolt is a nobrainer. Looks like stock will be the challenge and price will creep upwards with the brisk sales. I continue to watch your progress and results with your rifle. Good Shooting

I to have been considering a ultra lite but in a 28 nosler and have been watching the forum to see how people are making out with them and how they are shooting. I also agree about the barrel and how much they cost versus building a new gun and purchasing a PR barrel alone. If they shoot anything like my sons factory savage long range hunter I'm in. As far as the stock I think I would get a stock from McMillan or manners in a blank and have it inletted for it. I had it done with one savage and I see no reason for not being able to do it for another.Wow scope pushing 2lb's thats hefty.

Weaver 20 MOA rails with the appropriate 8 X 40 TPI screws are made here in the USA. as all their rails are.
That being said please read on.
The two sets that I am using were a good fit , lay perfectly flat and (when lightly screwing down the rear screw) showed no gap between the rails legs and receiver.
Consequentially there was no need to build up using resin in order establish flatness. ( I was impressed as twice the results were the same indicating to me that a have a good QC )
Additionally even though constructed of aluminum they have a rib on the underside to prevent any reward flex caused from recoil, and in my opinion a very useful feature, which aids in the correct base to receiver alignment.
As you Loctite the base down a simple push reward will give the right hole placement .
I think that for the money they are a great value. I also like that the fact that they are not produced over seas. In my dealings with Weaver they have always addressed any issiues or concerns and resolved them immediately.
Sure you can spend more money but in the end they all perform the same duty which is to allow you more vertical adjustment indicative in Long Range Precision shot placement while rigidly keeping your scope in place. My point being why spend $80.00 - $100.00 for the high priced bases if you don't need to unless of course you feel compelled and are certain of their build quality.

Is the barrel still free floated in that pic. I have a couple long range hunters that have the aluminum block. They shot great until I put my can on them. Then the fore end flexed and the barrel wasn't floating. A little sand paper got them shooting great again. But that was all with a bedding block.
