Received a letter from SSS last week. They apologized for the delay in filing orders for stocks, citing health reasons. Said that they were back to doing stocks at about 6 per week and were working to fill all back orders in the order received. There were about 40 (?) names of the list, so at 6 per week, I should have the stock I ordered in February about the middle of October. One can only hope, as I have heard this tune before. Will let Savage Shooters members know when, and if, I receive it.

Did they mention what the health concerns were? I hope they're both doing okay.

Nothing major, Fred will be 100% shortly. He is very close now and is working.

Thanks for the information. I hope Fred gets to feeling better.

Does anyone know if they are still carrying mag wells, followers, sears, springs etc... they used to have then listed on their web page but I couldn`t find them.

SSS has stopped selling stock replacement parts which is why they're no longer listed on the website. Between Savage not being able to fill their parts orders in a timely manner and customers not having a clue what they have (and need) and then blame SSS when the parts they ordered arrive and don't fit their gun, it was just more of a headache than it was worth to them. You'll have to deal with Brownells, Midway USA or the like from now on for replacement parts.

Yes, I admit I was clueless. If I had had a clue, I would not have dealt with SSS.

I just mailed my money order for a dog tracker stock from SSS. When I emailed them about lead times Lisa guessed the beginning of next year. Can't wait to get it.

You will not be unhappy with it! Their Stocks are top notch! I have both the Pro Hunter and the New soon to hit the market Pro Tac for my Axis and both are stellar. I will have to get another Axis next year to fill the Pro hunter as the Pro Tac fits my current set up and shooting style better!

Good luck with your delivery. Haven't received my stock that I ordered in February and was told that they would be all caught up on back orders by last week. Wouldn't get my hopes up on deliver date.

I don't need it until May so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

They're working some long hours now. I was receiving messages from them at 9pm Pacific time.

Yes May 2014 is the next Ridgway VBR shoot. That raises a question how did you guys finish your stocks? Just spray some clear coat and wet sand or tru oil? I don't know if it matter but I'm getting the Black/Black/Purple.

I just had several email's back and forth today as well as a phone conversation with them, ordered a Savage target action and tune/time package from them, promised it in late Dec/early Jan.... seems they're working and in business. Very helpful, prompt responding to my emails today.

They may take a while but every part I got from them is top notch, the ejector extractor kits are great as well as their fishnet fluted bolt tubes.
