My plan is this: I have a mid grip Savage 516 Striker that I want to make into a rear grip , mag fed , bullseye drilling machine. I have talked to a fellow about a stock for it and he seems to think that if I get bottom metal for it and send it to him , he can inlet it for the new bottom metal. He already has the dimensions for Striker rear grip stock. My only question is : Are the 116 and the 516 the same actions? Besides the trigger differences? And of course, I will swap out the trigger in the striker for a Jard, jewel , or some other compatible trigger.

Thought? Curses?

Please enlighten me.
Thanks to all in advance!
