well i did a little work to my stock to beef it up. Last chance ditch effort before buying a Boyd's stock..... i filled the whole front of the stock with epoxy and then remounted the barrel and shimmed it straight. Is has full float and now the stock is 5x stronger and more ridged then stock...

just got mine back from Savage....... NOT HAPPY! THIS IS AT 100 YARDS INDOORS FROM A LED-SLED REST......... GUN SUCKS!

srry... forgot to upload potos.....

If we can call the 17WSM ammo "The Arrow" and the Savage B-Mag "The Indian" then I totally believe in the metaphor...... "It Aint The Arrow.... It's The INDIAN!!! I honestly don't believe the ammo is playing much in the outcome of this poor grouping issue. The only reason im saying this is I...

WOW is an understement......

Thanks guys! Im gonna put my order in as soon as a figure out what one i like the most. there both beautiful pieces! Good luck on the site in and stay warm.

This message is for Nimrodmar10 and HntWhtTail. How long did it take Boyd's to send those stocks? There both beautiful! also, do they make the thumbhole stocks left handed? There site says that there out of stock on all the B-Mag stocks. Does anyone else make stocks for the B-Mag?

Ok... The B-mag is on it's way back to it's Birth place... Let see if they can fix it's birth defects....... I spoke with a nice guy over at Savage and he explained to me the issue with the stock hitting the barrel. What happens is picture the barrel is like a tuning fork, when you hit the fork...

nice poto sparky.... when you say windy, was the wind coming from 90deg. of the range (cross wind)? also if it was were you compensating for it? thats a solid 2" grouping... i can prob get that grouping out of my .22 long at 100 yards..... i believe you should get a better grouping from that gun...

Thanks for the info... I feel better you can see the difference. As far as your old fingers go, i'm right there with you!!! Still don't think a young set should be able to make it touch. Cant wait to get it back now (approx. 21 days).... i spoke to my guy at the gun shop where i bought it. he's...

ooops... my bad....

cant get them to upload... anyone know how to upload pic's??? this works just like my Savage.....lol...

Ok here is something that might be of some use to some of you(if the pic's uploaded). Here are some pic's of the stock as well as a piece of aluminum rod showing where the main gunnel runs out. My finger is on the webbing where the barrel starts running out. Oregon, does this stock look like...

Thanks Oregon! After Thinking it over a little and all the posts on here as well as your last post to me, im putting it back in the box and sending it back to Savage....... Do you know what the new stock looks like? I believe my stock is the prob. I pulled the gun apart after my text last night...
