[QUOTE="ducky, post: 1967717, member: 94420"] I have no problems with using NSS, but most barrel makers will do a Savage prefit. If you like a particular brand of barrel there is no reason you can't get it for your Savage. I wouldn't like the weight of a Sendero barrel, so I'f I wanted that contour I might use a Proof Research CF barrel. The only bottom metal that will work with the bottom bolt release Savage rifles I know of is the PT&G Stealth which uses ACIS style magazines. As others have mentioned you could probably open your barrel channel up to accommodate the new barrel contour, if you're not comfortable doing it a gunsmith could make short work of it. Stocks come down to budget. Bell & Carlson or Boyd's will probably be the cheapest route, but the more you spend on a stock the fewer fitment issues you'll have. I would really like a McMillan, probably the Game Scout if it were my rifle. I don't know of any current chassis systems that work with the bottom bolt release Savage rifles. [/QUOTE]
