stock options for a flatback 116

[rsbhunter]

Bought a old stock, new 116 SS 270 that has the flat back of the reciever, looking to possibly go 7 mag......are the actions/rifles hard to find an aftermarket stock for? Boyds, stockys, ???????? Thanks, rsbhunter

Easy to get a stock at stockys or where ever.

Should be standard long action spacing.

A new 270 with a flat back receiver?

This action should be an older 110 without accutrigger. One of my favorite actions, by the way.

[rsbhunter]

You are correct, this is an old stock (inventory wise) new in the box non accutrigger.....sorry for the poor explanation......rsbhunter

Flat back points to a staggerfeed LA...and stocks seem to be fairly easy to find, depending on what you want.

I have a Boyd Ross FT on a flat-back 110 and it works great; if synthetic is more your speed, Bell & Carlson makes the Durmaxx, Medalist sporter, and Carbelite, for the staggerfeed long action.

You can make a centerfeed LA stock (like the laminates Stocky's sells) work with a staggerfeed LA, you just have to do some dremeling to the mag inlet and shim the L-clip channel and/or bed it.
