[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 68635, member: 10"] Ramses II Use a THICK piece of paper like an index card or something like that. We want a little clearance here. We don't want that think to touch ever during firing and if you don't think things are flexing all over hell when the rifle is fired you are wrong. If you can pass an index card under the tang and run it up both sides freely then you are in good shape. Be sure the rear of the tang is floated as well. This is easiest to do with the trigger pulled but that can be a pain to get back together if your not used to Savage triggers and how they go back together. Just make sure the total tang is floated. As far as the screw hole goes. This will be one of the few times you see me type this so pay attention here. "It does not have to be perfect" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]!!! What I mean is that we are drilling a hold for basically a deep threaded wood screw if you will. Make sure your drill bit produces enough clearance for the body of the screw to clear. I generally give them a few thou of clearance over the min diameter of the screw. NOT THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER! If you go to small on your pilot hole, you will craack teh stock when you screw in the screw. I way I drill mind is to use my floor press, swing the support arm out of the way, turn the press on and holding the stock with both hands level as possible I basically raise the stock into the turning drill bit and drill the hole. Again this does not have to be perfectly true as we are only holding the trigger guard on. Get it as close as possible but if you are relatively steady with a hand drill and you can get the stock in a sturdy fixed position you will not have much of a problem. Selecting the proper size drill bit is important though. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen (50) [/QUOTE]
