I just picked up a nice custom stock made for a Savage action and wanted to see what action screw spacing the 308 or 6BR Model 12 dual port benchrest rifle uses? I can't find any actions right now so I may end up buying the whole rifle and just for the action and selling off the barrel and stock.
Here is what I found on the Northland Shooter Supply website. As you can see the dual port comes in both the 3.4 and 4.4 action screw spacing, but it looks like one with a 6br or 308 would be a 4.4 spacing. So if you find a used action or rifle to buy you would just have to confirm it matches your stock that you already have.

You may have left the most important information out of the OP. What screw spacing does "Your Custom Stock" have? Is it designed for a magazine or three action screws. There is a difference. Much easier to give you sound advice from there.
The stock I bought is for a 3 screw target action with 4.4" spacing and single shot. I already own three model 12 target action repeaters with two screws and a 4.4" spacing with one being converted to single shot with a 3D printed cap on the bottom of the action but I would like to get a dual port, single shot target action for this new stock I bought which may be hard to do.Quote:

Re-drill the action to match the stock.
Yes that is always an option and I see others have done it.Quote:
