Heavy barrel bmag thread

[Lonewulf]

anybody heard from Boyd's yet if they are making a stock for it?

[Sniper Steve]

Range report 3/24/14 14 deg and a 20mph head wind. I got my new Bmag hb dialed in. The dope from the original Bmag was way off. I cleaned after every 6 shots and needed to this is a dirty little round. I have a Mueller 4.5x14 with Burris high Z rings. So after I got used to shooting with a numb trigger finger i managed to get 6 shots at 50 yrds inside a dime size group which is excellent compared to my standard Bmag flexie flyer which shot 4 inch groups. This rifle is dead nuts and gets the green light from me. I hope to have a 100yrd report next week!

Seeing this is encouraging. Savage could do better on the stock.

Awesome shooting sniper. This is the 3rd HB Bmag that I have read about that shot well right out of the box ! Which ammo did you shoot 20's or 25's ?
May have to get me one.

[Sniper Steve]

Thanks shooting the 25s. It was cold and windy as hell. I also used factory set trigger pull weight. I will tighten up the group next time out and I would like a bipod to try.

Makes me want to sell my unfired B-Mag and order HB model!!

[savageshooter617]

My lgs just two hb ss in today. Do I go for it or wait for more reviews? Hmmm

[Sniper Steve]

Go for it why wait.....glad I pulled the trigger!

[rsh4364]

Wish I knew if my Boyds stock would fit the HB model,I know I can open stock to fit barrel but not sure if they changed anything else? Local place has 2 HBs in stock right now,And I want one bad! Might be pulling the trigger this weekend..

[Lonewulf]

pulled the trigger on one myself, will be here Friday. got lucky on GB and got it for $340 +$15 freight
and I haven't even really pulled the trigger on my sporter b-mag yet.
I will try and see how the Boyds stock I have is close to fitting the HB b-mag if it shows up. over the weekend.

[Sniper Steve]

Let us know about the Boyds fitment

[gsperaz]

I just scored a HB SS Bmag, won it on gun broker from a local seller. The price was right to take the plunge.....
Should have it tomorrow afternoon. Weather permitting I will shoot it and report back.

[Sniper Steve]

Nice !

Hi. I picked my my SS Bmag today. My lgs owner is also a gunsmith. When he showed me the rifle, the first thing I did was check the flex in the fore end. It's about the same as the original. The owner looked at me and quipped:
"well Ron, at least the bbl is free floated"....ha ha
I put a spare scope on it and if it doesn't rain too much tomorrow, gonna shoot it. It looks pretty good. The store got a shipment of .22 lr while I was there and the store actually had .22 Mag...... I 'hoarded' one whole box of 50.... ha ha

I got my Prairie Hunter style stock for my B-Mag yesterday. I also got a SS B Mag the day before. There isn't room for the "Bull Barrel" in the stock but if you enlarge the opening you can make it fit. When you have both plastic stocks off you can see where the difference is and what you need to do. The smaller barrel B Mag fit perfect and no problems with the safe or magazine.

[gsperaz]

Here's mine fitted to my boyd's RH stock.

[savageshooter617]

Looks good!!! Hope she's a shooter

Is there any significant difference in rigidity between the two Savage (B mag and B mag ss) tupperware stocks?

[Crockett]

Looks great...what did you use to sand out the barrel channel?

[Lonewulf]

Haven't had time to mess with it yet but first noticed the SS b-mag bolt works better than the sporter bolt. also the Tupperware stock on my SS B-mag is warped more than the first one was. you would have thought Savage would have fixed this by now. Will definetly have a Boyds stock on it in the near future.
