I recently purchased a barrel for my savage axis. The barrel purchased was a savage 110 heavy fluted barrel. The diameter of that barrel clearly won’t fit in the barrel cut out for that stock. My question is can a buy a 110 stock or is the 110 and axis stock different in other ways?
You need to either inlet your stock for the barrel profile or get a stock that fits your barrel profile.
Sand paper & a wood dowel will work to inlet. You can find many videos & how to’s online by searching “Inletting rifle stock”.
I got the savage model 110 barrel that has fluting and a threaded muzzle. Do you know any stock I can get that won’t break the bank?
Boyd's are probably the best buy. I have one on my Axis with a heavy barrel.
Like Dave said, just get a dowel about the same size as the barrel and some sandpaper (80-100 grit) and start working on the barrel channel. I do the final bit with the barrel. Get some 2" masking tape and apply to the bottom of the barrel. Install the action loose. Use the sandpaper like a reverse shoe shine (grit side out toward stock). Keep going until you can tighten the action screws and still move the paper. I change to 150-220 grit when it gets closer (that paper is a bit thinner as well.
Thanks, that’s my plan to get by until I can get the new Magpul stock.
Do you know if the barrel stated above is a bull barrel?
Depends on which model it came from. Could be what Savage calls a 'Full profile' or 'Heavy varmint'.
