OVERMOLD - rubber over the molded stock.
wasn't sure if it was the whole stock or just the grip areas. sorry!
While were on the subject, I would like to hear from anyone who has one.
How do you like it?
How was the fit and finish?
pics?
any other useful info?
I know they come fully inletted for a DBM, but I just saw where they also come in a full range of camo colors as well. I was gonna buy a duramax and have it inletted for a DBM, but I may have try one of these out instead.
Wanted one for years, but it took them to long and all my rifles are currently stocked
I don't have one on a Savage yet but I have one on my Ruger M77 MKII and love it. Fit is good and I really like the rubber overmolding for gripping. I also like the overall shape of the stock. I'm planning on getting a full length bedding block model for my 116 338 win mag sometime in the near future and hope that it will be as good as the one on my Ruger.
The fit and finish are pretty good. The two I have only needed a little material removed from the tang. The barrels were centered in the barrel channel. I would consider the models with the full length bedding block. I have the pillar bedded models and they are a little flexible in the forearm. Good hunting stock though. I also had to remove some material under the recoil lug after I replaced it with a sss lug.

does anyone know if their short action stocks have the 4.40 screw spacing? i have sent them 3 e-mails now asking that question with no response!
Well....... I just ordered one in "Advantage Timber Camo" for a long action detachable magazine, so in a week or so i will report back as to the fit and finish of it. If y'all are good i will even post pics of it.....LOL
I have one in short action with DBM and it is the 4.4 spacing. I like mine pretty well. It is the pillar bedded version, and I went ahead and bedded the action. Had to remove some material around the tang, and stiffen the forend, but for around a hundred bucks in a DBM stock, its not bad!

Nice looking rig :)
Nice gun!
I am looking at them as well. I have a sporter barrel, but want to get a heavier barrel in the future (not varmint or bull, but something heavier then the sporter barrel). Will the gap be significant? Should I get the piller beaded or just wait for the full length beading block?
I cancelled my order cause they said the camo ones are on backorder and would be atleast 8 weeks and likely longer. They didnt tell me this till a week after i ordered it. I also had the pillared version ordered and thought i shoulda maybe ordered the full block version so I just cancelled it so i can step back and rethink my decisions(this doesnt happen too often....LOL).
If I use a standard barrel, will the gap be significant if I buy the heavy barrel stock? I might upgrade in the future, but not sure.
All in the eye of the beholder!Quote:

thats where I had mine ordered from as well. A week later they emailed me about the backorder. Hopefully yours wont be.
What is the cheapest anyone has found the full bedding block stock for?
196.00 @ optics planet.
Does hogue make stocks for short action stagger feed? I thought i read somewhere that you just turn the piller of the centerfeed stocks? How would that work with the full aluminum bedding version? Or am i way off?
i was told by hogue that when order a savage short action you get adapters to fit the different generation screw spacings.
Don't hold your breath on getting any stocks from Optics Planet. I like, many others, have ordered just to have the order canceled by them at a later date.Quote:

YEP!!!! It's been backordered!!! Thats just great >:( I'll givem a few days to respond to e-mails if no ord then i gues i'll go with a stockade money saver. I hear thats a wait too!!
Has anyone tried ordering directly from Hogue? I see on their site you can order from there but not sure if they have to make them first or already have them in stock ready to ship.
SSDD Hogue has listed savage stocks for ten years!
could be months!!!!
I've only recently seen them listed on their site where you could actually place an order for one. I know they've been saying for years that they were going to make them though.
got an e-mail from hogue...only shipping in very small quantities!!! oldest orders first. no approx. date of shippments...?
Hmmm. Kinda dis-heartening.
forget it!!! just ordered a nice laminate sporter from boyd's. Really wanted a composite but i can duracoat the laminate and make it fairly durable.
Why paint a laminate!? I like the wood myself, and it should be sufficiently durable. But to each his own. I too want to get a Hogue with the aluminum bedding block. Most people who have the aluminum ones love them. On other forums some are very snarky about them, and if you don't spend $600 on a stock then you aren't worthy. They are out of stock everywhere, Midway has them listed at $190 (unknown date available) they wont even backorder it, the Hogue site has them listed at 290.Quote:

Not sure about the 10/22 but it feels the same as the one I have on my M77 MKII. However, the forearm feels a little more narrow.

Does anyone know if a shillin varmint contour will fit in the heavy barrel channel with out sanding. If it does need to be opened up a little bit my only concern would be that the overmolded rubber would peel. Does anyone have any insight to that.
I e got one on a remmy 25-06. It's the full bed block model and I really like it. Fit was great and it's definately tack on the dewy damp mornings. I got the od camo looking model
Mine's a large shank, Savage Varmint contour and it fits but with little room to spare. Not sure how that compares to Shilen's contour but I would say if it's a shouldered barrel and it doesn't taper much from the shoulder it might be tight.
