300 WSM Stock Question

[Balvar24]

Will the 300 WSM stocks work for a new 12FV?

Looks like the 300 WSM is a short action, correct?

Looks to have an odd spacing. 4.475 in lieu of 4.40?

[Robinhood]

As long as the scew spacing is correct.

[Balvar24]

Anyone ever heard of 4.475 screw spacing?

[Robinhood]

For a Savage? No. How are you measuring?



it is 4.522, 4.275, 4.400 or 3.440(target action only)

[Balvar24]

That's the problem. Someone else is shooting me numbers.

[Robinhood]

There is always the "does the magazine fit in the stock(4.400) or does it hang on the receiver(4.275)" question.

[Balvar24]

All he has is the stock.

Was there ever a blind magazine VLP Centerfeed 300 WSM?

[Robinhood]

No, The VLP had a DBM.

[sharpshooter]

Early VLP's stocks were blind mags.

[Balvar24]

Early VLP's stocks were blind mags.

Would you expect these to be 4.40" spacing?

[Robinhood]

Early VLP's stocks were blind mags.


I went back to look at the old Savage Catalogs and found they made single shots also. The two I have owned were CF and detachable. The VLP showed up in 2004. Thanks for the correction Fred.

Apparently some of the 300 WSM's are an oddball spacing?

No................that's a misprint, it should say 4.275"

[Balvar24]

No................that's a misprint, it should say 4.275"

Even for a Center feed?

Were the blind mag VLP's center or staggered feed?

Thanks.

[sharpshooter]

It's either 4.275" or 4.400"...........there is no 4.475 spacing. They made staggerfeed blind,(4.275) and also centerfeed blind,(4.400) and centerfeed DBM.
