Well i see my long thread got deleted,but wanted to give a update on the problem Duramax i had,After numerous attempts to get the savage action to sit in the stock it was basicaly destroyed,So i sent it back to B&C,so i got a new stock yesterday from them and was very skeptical,So i took it out of the box and this was one very clean stock,I mean the trigger gaurd area was very clean,the barrel channel very clean,the action blocks,i mean it looked like it was just made and then it had been gone over with a fine tooth comb,So i took my savage action and it dropped right in and bolted right up with no off centering,up and down rocking issues and fit very very well.Sure wish this would have taken place the 1st time and i am happy that B&C took the time to put effort into making the product right.
