I'm thinking about the Tack Driver Silhouette stock from Richard's Microfit Stocks, for a new Savage FV-SR .22LR.
Anyone familiar with them?
How do they compare with Boyd's products?
Will they accept the DIP trigger guard/bottom metal kits?
FYI, I've never done any bedding type of work and would probably "shop it out", if I needed it done.
Thanks in Advance (again) for your advice and assistance :smile-new:
If you plan on sending it out to be bedded or whatever, pick the stock that you like best and get it done!! A little or a LOT of work will need to be done to get the proper fit and finish. I remember having one of their Tack Drivers stocks at one time and nothing special popped out that I remember having to deal with. I do all my own pillar installs as well as bedding and nothing bad came to mind that I can remember. Compared to Boyd's? Boyd's make nice stocks but doesn't have the style selection of Richard's Micro-Fit. Both Richard's and Boyd's make nice stocks but I prefer Richard's for the style selection AND the price. And, I don't mind doing the work to get it fitted and finished.
Was just looking at the Richard's Micro-Fit "Pistol Grip" stocks. Cut the back end off to make a nice rear grip SP stock.
Hi Mikie,
Are you "in business" for this type of work? If not, any recommendations for someone to do the work? I'm going to check locally and hopefully be able to watch the work getting done. Then try it on a 10/22 stock. If I mess up, I'll just have to get another Tack Driver (;
You'll need to do some checking around and find a "Smith" that's into doing stock work. Rebarreling and chambering is a little different than doing stock work so check around your area and see what you can find.
