Not mine but this is pretty much what my Savage looked like minus the scope when I bought it for $240 around 2000. I stripped the stock and refinished it because I could not take whatever that finish is. And I added a recoil pad. Now it also wears a Weaver Nitrex 2-10x scope.

I shot it a little when I bought it but it languished in my safe ever since. I finally got the urge to use it hunting so I sprung it from jail last year. Showed some promise last time at the range so after this season I decided to pillar bed it while I was working on my Axis. I also bought a boyds stock for my AXIS and ordered a metal trigger guard. Well when I got the stock, it already had a metal trigger guard intstalled despite the advertisement saying it was plastic. So the extra trigger guard worked here :cool:. As I posted in my other thread, I had a little booboo when I knocked the action onto the floor and snapped my trigger in half.

Here it is with the stock refinished and recoil pad installed.

Looks good. When I added a Limbsaver pad to my 110E wood stock, the LOP was too long, so I had the stock shortened. I really like the crisp trigger break on mine, hope the new trigger fits well.

Yeah. Kicked like a mule with that plastic buttplate.

Have it's twin in 7RM right down to plastic butt plate, and other than mounting scope, have done nothing else to it. Just checked trigger pull on it Friday and consistently breaks clean at 3 1/2lbs. Could tweak it a bit to come down to 2.75 - 3 but am fine with it as is.

looks good. Might try the piano wire spring upgrade if you want to adjust the trigger pull, worked like a charm on my 100e!

Well...it was def worth the sanding down. I'll post up range results with the pillar bedding. Lusty you know if there was an improvement in grouping.

Yeah, they were mighty plain stocks. Did my brothers for him, and that came out very nice, but I've never touched mine and after 33+ years not sure I'll bother. ;)
