Boyds stocks is another place. I have no idea what a loker model is though. The 116 is nice enough however.

Older model 116.. to much Hennessey! Forgot about Boyds

First, I'm assuming the word "loker" is supposed to be "older".

I'll bet you a gazillion dollars that the screw spacing is 5.062" and not 5 inches even. That would make it a standard Savage long action so any stock designated to fit a 110/111/112/114/116 will work.

The real question is what style drop mag do you have? Is the mag release a button on the side or a lever on the bottom? If it's a side button then you're pretty much S.O.L as no one that I know of makes an aftermarket stock for that style. Only real option would be if Numrick's Gun Parts happens to still have a factory wood one available, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Jim, was the 116 made back when they had the side mag release? Could a SF mag be used in a SF blind mag stock for a side button release rifle by blocking the mag in the well?

Yes, its actually 5.062, I have both a blind mag and one with the side release button. Boyds does advertise a stock for the actions with the 5.062 action screw spacing

If you`re looking online at the Boyds website, be sure to read all of the stuff at the bottom of the page because I think it says it won`t work with the side button release. I could be wrong on that so be sure to check before ordering.

I'm 99% sure Boyds doesn't offer anything for the older side-button drop mags. I think Hogue or Bell & Carlson did at one time, but whether they're still available or not I have no clue and both would be synthetic. The verbage you need to look for would read something like "Savage 110 flat-top staggered-feed detachable magazine with side button release."

The other option would be to convert the drop magazine gun to a blind magazine which would greatly increase your stock options.

Yeah, I intend on converting it to a blind mag, could care less about a drop mag!
