Boyds Gunstocks now Available for the Savage B.MAG

[BradyLWO]

Any body shoot with their new stock yet to see if it tightened up the groups?

More pics, it came in at just over 6 pounds, which is nice since the lightest rig I own up until then, was over 12 pounds.

Looks great, thanks for picts.Hope mine ships soon.Whats your ring height?

[scope eye]

The rings are Millett's High's, I have always loved the windage adjustment it keeps the turret right in the center, so I have equal adjustment right or left with this scope it happens to be 4 1/2 rotations either way.

Will post my pics later. Sky blue ft thumbhole, glades bolt knob, bipod, and mueller apv.

[scope eye]

Is the Glades bolt knob a drill and tap deal, or is it one whole piece like a 10/110.

Dean

[Zinzrah]

1 piece. Takes 10 min to install.

Cant wait to see it,I just ordered the Glades bolt handle 2 hrs. ago!

I have read about several folks having issues because they were not aware of this instruction. I copied this information from another site, hope it helps.

FROM BOYD"S WEDSITE>>>>>ATTENTION CUSTOMERS:To assemble, you will need to use the two escutcheons and action screws from the original.

If you use the escutcheons you won't have a problem with the safety. The escutcheons are the metal pieces in your original stock that kept the action screws from falling out of the stock when the action was removed

In the owners manual, on page 30 the escutcheons are the parts numbered 556 and referred to as stock pillars

That looks so good Zinzra! Did you have to dremmel or file bolt notch in stock for that glades bolt handle?

[Zinzrah]

Yes you will have to modify the stock. It really wasn't too bad. I have to look at it again tomorrow. Safety doesn't engage. I did use the 2 action pillars too. Maybe I was just tired lol. The stock I ordered also has the 90 degree finish FYI.

[scope eye]

How do you remove the pointy BAS.

Dean

[Zinzrah]

I went over everything multiple times. I am using both action screws and both stock pillars. I checked and the stock pillars are inserted right. However the safety will not engage. Ideas anyone?

Curious, set the safe to OFF, work the bolt open & closed then set to SAFE, what happens?

[danjurista]

I got my boyds stock today a classic in nutmeg, took a while to get the safety to work. May have to add a small washer ontop of the rear escutcheon to gain a little clearance so the safety work a little better. got it all together and it look great. Went to put the mag back in and it wood not latch, I going to contact boyds about it, it looks like you would have to open up the mag well to get it to latch? Has anyone else run into any problems with there mag after restocking the b-mag?

Exact same issue with my thumbhole tonight...backed off the back screw until safety worked. so I will have to either use a shorter screw or washers to be able to tighten the screw.
My mag has to be pushed in real stout to get it to work but it never clicks like it should. Will have to see if anything can be done to fix this small issue.
Other than these minor adjustments the stock looks good until you look at it from the left side of the receiver where there is a viewable gap that really bugs me. I need to look at this also to see if this can be fixed because if not I'm going to have to send it back.

Overall this gun is just one big pain !

Overall this gun is just one big pain in the ass!

And it just got worse...after getting it all together and admiring how nice the whole gun was now that it was feeling like a real gun I look down the gun and see a zillion little cracks in the finish of the stock. not visible in any other direction but when you look at it from an angle from the rear.

Did you have any problems with the fit from the aftermarket bolt handle?

You are right. Now wait for the bolt and trigger problems. It is just a matter of time.
