B&C doesn't make the Medalist Tactical for the staggerfeed long action either...Quote:

I'm in the same boat as you. I tried fitting my CF mag in a walnut SF stock. After two hours of frustration and Excerdine headach #400 I gave up, the bolt kept binding on the mag. I'm beginning to think this centerfeed Stevens 200 from Academy Sports was no bargain even at $179. I guess I can rebarrel it in a varmint weight barrel and go singleshot.
I shot the rifle Sunday and gotta say, the recoil was rediculous in that light tupperware stock. I was shooting Hornady 130 gr handloads with RL-19/56 grains and getting velocities a tad over 3000 fps with 1.4" three shot groups at 100 yards. I was seating the Hornady's .017" OTL. What amazed me was NO copper mine in the factory barrel! I tried Montana Extreme 50BMG, Bore Tech Eliminator and KG-12, none gave me any indication of copper in the barrel after firing 16 rounds.
If you don't mind synthetic, the Hogue stocks are now available for Savages and they make them for centerfeed actions.
Can a guy install the older sf mag in the cf action?Quote:

It amazes me, the CF has been around since 2006 yet it's still a pain trying to find stocks that fit it.
If you're willing to wait, Fred at SSS can build a stok for ya.
Manners and several other companies will build you a long action stock to suit your needs. XLR industries also has a complete chassis system if that's your thing to.
