BoilerUP thanks for taking the time to take pictures and measurements to answer my questions. I found in measuring a few of my stocks with heavier contoured barrels that there was approx. .175 to .200" of flat stock area outside the barrel side at the end of the forearm. With this stock there would only be about .075" remaining with the Savage Varmint contour. It would be doable for the Savage Varmint contour barrel but not typical of whats found on most stocks. Therefore probably not the best look. Maybe in the end this stock would be best for up to heavy sporter contour barrels or lighter varmint barrels. I will do some measuring and look at some contours and consider my options. Thanks again!
