[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 974847, member: 74902"] I took my rifle to MPI and had them make the stock, and fit and bed to the action. Fit and finish are very good. The stock is kevlar and carbon fiber and is incredibly stiff for the weight I don't have another Savage long action to try it on, but I don't think it would fit. It is true that if you purchase a pre-inletted stock from MPI they are pretty rough and require bedding. Best results from MPI are achieved by giving them the rifle and having them do it all, or order a non-inletted stock and have a smith do it. I believe that they sell mostly non inletted, non painted stocks to smiths anyway. I believe if you go the kevlar route with them it would be best to send them the rifle and have them do everything. Pic below is a closeup so you can see the fit to the action and the raised epoxy web paint on it. [/QUOTE]
