Boyd's stocks? DYI upgrade?

[tobnpr]

Thanks for the response. According to Boyds site their Classic and Prairie Hunt will not accommodate a bull barrel. The only stocks they have that will work are the thumb hole designs. I do like the thumb hole stocks, but not leaning that way for this rifle. Looks like I'm back looking for a stock again.

Here is how the rifle looks now.

Savage says it's a medium contour barrel-not a bull barrel- on the hog hunter.
You'll never find a true "bull" barrel on a hunting stick.
A "bull" barrel is the same diameter at the muzzle as it is at the shank.
Next is "varmint" contour- .85 at the muzzle.

And I have a Boyd's on another make of action, not a Savage...and it was anything BUT a "drop-in" fit... inletting was way off, I spent three hours fixing it.

Check, most of their stocks say "semi-inletted"...and they mean it.
