Sounds like the beginning of the "gun purchase from hell"…not to make fun of your predicament. Have you had a chance to shoot it yet?

If you end up returning your stock, and are looking for something else, take a look at this link.. http://www.eabco.net/Savage-Thumbhol...n_p_14233.html and browse around for all their available stocks.

I put one of these under my son's new model 12FV, and wrote a review about the experience in the "aftermarket stocks" section in this forum.

The Revolution stock I recieved was a good fit, and included installed pillars. Nevertheless, I epoxy bedded with Devcon 10110.

The end result was very good looking , and very good shooting.
