    Target Action Project

    I have a target action that I was tired of single feeding- so I sent it off and had it milled to accept AICS mags. That was much cheaper than I thought it would be and looks good. I now have to find a stock and DBM. On this I am a little out of my element. On Rem 700 and clones I just get a stock inletted with M5 pattern and have a go to brand of bottom metal. Looking at boyds website they have stocks for this action with mags- but it looks like they are all for the savage style.

    I have a MDT chassis that I could put it in- but would rather have a stock. Anyone know of a stock and bottom metal combination that works without having to do much inletting?

    Thanks

    Not looking to spend very much..... even though this is a savage forum- I don't consider any of my savages "nice" guns so I try to do my projects on the lower end of the budget and buy the top end stuff for other guns. I do have a fair number of Savages,- but they are blind mag- single shot- or in a chassis, so I don't have any idea about the savage mag system and how difficult it is to make it work with AICS.

    This target action was sharing a stock with another target action... I didn't shoot either of them very much so it wasn't a big deal. But that means that I can't send the stock off to be machined for a mag system- so just looking for a new aics compatable stock.

    CDI did the milling.... It looks really good- so far i just held a mag up to it but it went right in place. I will put that action into the MDT chassis just to check that everything feeds correct.... but I'm just not a big fan of chassis.

    Could You not have sent a Boyd’s stock and had it milled at the same time as the action ? Just asking?
