    savage stock question

    New Stock

    I would say most aftermarket drop in stocks on std barrels would end up freefloated,magnum contour probally not,most heavy barrels i think would mostly be freefloated,a factory stock most likely not except for heavy barreled guns.If you want your stock freefloated you can sand the barrel channel...
