Hi All,
I've recently got my latest stock that I've modified back from being painted. It's a Savage factory F-class stock, the same as my previously modified black one, though I've been more conservative as this red ones a free recoil type stock where the black stock is obviously all about control.
They're both in 2 pack.
The modifications include a deeper palm swell to suit a lefty, Devcon bedding, weight in the butt, the toe's been straightened out and I've cut bag riders into the forend.
The barrel and action tang are heavily free floated which is important for Savages.
I've shot it prone and off the bench with the 6BR which is fitted in the pics and it's FANTASTIC. Far better than the original design. The tracking is unbelievable and it sits on the bag and front rest as steady as a rock.
Bag riders in forends make stability on the front rest so much better and recoil so smooth.
I'm loving this rifle. At the range in a rifle rack full of black, green and timber stocked rifles, its stands out like dogs balls!
I'd love to see other peoples Savage F-class rifles, especially if they've been tweaked.
