    Bought a Numrich Wood Stock (youth for Savage 11). Does it have pillars? Should I add them?


    I have been hunting a lot more with my Winchester Model 70 lately mostly because if I'm going to hold a gun for a day I'd much rather it be nice wood than plastic.
    I bought a wood stock from Numrich and am really looking forward to using my Savage again and one day giving it to my daughter for their first hunts. I find the Youth stocks fit me great for winter hunting when I'm all bundled up and with a backpack strap on (adds about 1.5" LOP over a summer shirt).

    This is the stock (not much info): https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1050720

    Does anyone know if these come with any kind of pillars like the Savage synthetic stocks do? If not, would I be well advised to add them myself? Anyone with a similar stock have any advice to share about how your rifle shoots un-bedded? I'm looking to get a 1 MOA hunting rifle out of this...

    If the stock does not come with pillars I highly recommend adding them. Or, instead of pillars, use a bedding compound like Devcon to bed the action to the stock. You could also add pillars and bedding compound. Personally, I don't think pillars AND bedding compound is necessary.

    Thanks for the responses guys!

    I do have a 4.275" bolt spread, I bought this rifle in 7mm-08 new in the early 2000's after selling my 7 pound 300 Win Mag. Never regretted that decision!

    I have been reading up on bedding. Would I be OK not remove any wood when I bed or should I dremel a bunch of the wood out?

    You could bed without removing any material or minimal material. This is called skim bedding. Sometimes skim bedding works really well. However, I recommend removing material and doing a full bedding job. I wouldn't call it a bunch of material. On a wood stock you would remove at most 1/8" of material from any surface the action touches.

    Everything worked out great!
    After looking at what I got, I decided not to pillar bed it. I did bed it from recoil lug to the rear action screw. The stock came with a nice (plastic) stantion in the front and I have the metal bottom metal I figured I'd try without pillars for now and see how it shoots for the next year. Really happy with fit and finish on this stock!
