Sharp Shooters - stock help please

[Don C]

Hello all,

I received a Long Range BR stock recently (6 month wait). The quality is good.

Do I need to glass bed (or similar) to get a good fit with my Model 12 LRPV ? Now the stock does not fit properly. The center factory action screw is too long.

Has anyone been able to drop in the action and get a good fit without bedding ?

SSS phone is always busy and they did not respond yet to my email I sent Tuesday (text below)

Thanks


Hello SSS,

I received a LRBR stock a few weeks ago from your fine company.

"I am very happy with the quality. I have finished with Tru-Oil.

I dropped the Model 12 RBLP action in the stock and notice some of the action screws extend too far into the action. The bolt binds.

Do I need to glass bed the action into the stock or is it supposed to fit with no further modifications?

If I had shorter action screws them all would be OK I guess.


Your suggestions please"

Make sure the screws are not reversed first. Then if need be file or grind the screws down a couple of threads and all should be well.Almost all laminate stocks use a different length screw than the factory stock uses, not really suprising nor hard to fix.
As for bedding that is a personal preference to begin with, try it out and if you feel accuracy can or should be better bed it.

SSS stocks come bedded. You need to fit the screws.

Thanks for the help.

I will order some replacement screws from Savage and file to size.

No need to order screws - get some from your local NAPA etc - 1/4 - 28 I believe
