[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 408697, member: 2736"] +1 I have used almost all of the recoil lugs that are available and found that the factory lugs are ok to use except for the Savage (It appears to be soft and will bend under heavy recoil) as long as they are ground flat. If I find one that is poorly made I will replace it with one that is .200 or .225 thick (The factory lugs are around .187). The thicker lugs (Up to 3/8") cause the stock to have to be opened up to much and are no advantage over the thinner ones. All recoil lug replacements should be performed by a competent gun smith to assure proper head space is obtained. If your going to build a very intense rifle with a lot of recoil and no muzzle break then you may want to use a thicker one if it makes you feel better. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
