[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2031481, member: 93138"] As I've found out in building a .308 Norma Mag, there are fewer makers of composite stocks for Long Action Savages than there are for Short Action Savages. Manners, for example, told me in an email that they will not make anything for the LA. I really wanted a T4A for this build, but it is not to be. The closest that I've found is Stockade's Prairie Dog Special. Short term I have it in a Boyd's stock. There is not a lot of material in the stock for adding pillars. I do [B]not[/B] think that this is the fault of Boyd's. I think it is the fault of the action design. This likely explains why Manners won't make stocks for them. Rifle Basix, Timney, and Jard make replacement triggers if you want to explore what is beyond a tuned up stock trigger. I consider Northland Shooting Supply's precision barrel nut and ground recoil plate to be required parts on a Savage build, but if your rifle is shooting acceptably I don't think that I'd mess with those until the barrel is shot out. Pacific Tool & Gage also makes these parts as well, and they make various tools to tune-up these actions. In my experience their reputation is deserved and when I need something they make I try to buy it from a vendor who has physical inventory of whatever it is that I want. If it has to be ordered, I order it direct and hope that I'll get it within a year. Some folks won't buy from them at all, and I can understand that. At this point in time if you want to use an AICS mag on a LA Savage they're the only ones currently making the required bottom metal. There was another mfg, who was more highly rated by their users, but they appear to have gone under or something. I could not find any for sale. [/QUOTE]
