Reply With QuoteIt depends on which Savage model. But I would not open up the Boyds stock until you receive the metal trigger guard since it may be slightly narrower than the more recent plastic version.
I just received my Boyds stock for my Stevens 308. The plastic trigger guard does not fit. I plan on getting a metal guard and thought maybe I should wait before opening up that inlet area. Does anyone know how close in size the metal and the plastic guards are? Thanks.

yeah, +1 on that. the plastic ones expand and become distorted after torqueing the action screws also. i would wait until you get the metal guard also.Originally Posted by jpdown
'How long did it take to arrive?
I would wait on the metal guard
I have ground down a plastic one to fit in the past because I was in the same situaton you are now
I do not think I would grind on the stock
The inlet on the boyds stock fits the metal guard very well

OK, that makes sense. I will wait. Midway has them on backorder right now, so maybe I'll just grind the plastic to fit if the metal guards don't come in soon. Thanks!
About a week from the day I ordered.
SSS and Brownells usually stock the Savage metal TG's.
Jim at Northland Shooter Supply also has the metal trigger guards
A great guy to do business with
