My 11/111 Trophy Hunter XP Conversion to Tacticool

[jon326]

Saw lots of questions and figured Id show you my conversion to Boyd's Tacticool on my Trophy Hunter XP.
This (http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/product.htm?pid=55388&cat=1215) is the stock you need. Note, if you have a long action, both stocks from the drop down menu, 111 and Trophy Hunter, are the same stocks and meant for the long action version.
In addition I ordered these parts from Savage:

Part No. 106705 - Frame Assembly $78
Part No. 107217 - Trigger Guard $26
Part No. 106235 Magazine Box Assembly $51
I also ordered longer screws as advised by some people but the longer screwed ended up shanking out, so I used the factory. Also, you can use the factory trigger guard, but it's a good step up from plastic if you just order the metal one with everything else. The frame and trigger guard fit snug into the Boyd's stock so I put those in then dropped in the rest and bolted it up. Torqued it snug until I can get my torque wrench on it.

It shoots good, however I think I am going to un-torque everything and then retorque it all - especially the scope mounts. I should have gotten the optional limbsaver, but i can get that down the road. Def. did not shoot grouped @100 yards like some people said, and I had limited ammo since I forgot a box at the house when I went out. Overall it shoots great, zeroed in @ 25yards, then @50..however for some reason once I set 100yards it hit center but far to the right. I called it a day so I can bring it home, retorque the action screws and scope rings, then take it out again later. Happy with the feel of the stock though, and the looks, i have a couple of my friends who want to order one now.

Very nice work.

I'm looking to do the same with mine. I'm new to savage's so bear with me. The box magazine in your pic looks like the one that came with my Trophy hunter XP. What originally came with yours? I'm thinking all I need is the stock?

Are you still happy with it? Have you had a chance to go back to the range?

Very interested in hearing your opinion thanks.
