you can make it fit, drill out the front pillar to a larger diameter and install a new pillar
I have a new Savage 10FP with the 4 3/8 inch action screw spacing. I want a Duramaxx stock for it but all of the ones that I have found are for the older Savage actions. I know the tactical medalist is available for the new actions but I want a Duramaxx!! So I figured I would just call Bell and Carlson and see if or when they would be available for the new actions. I asked the lady if the Durmaxx stock would be available for the new actions and she said nope, not at this time! WTF!?! This seems to be a very popular replacement stock for savage rifles! So I guess from now on, if you buy a new Savage rifle, you can forget about getting a Duramaxx stock for it!! :-[

:-\ If you wanted a Duramax that bad why did'nt you check screw spacing before you bought the gun?
Now, you are beginning to realize what us left handed folks have been dealing with all our lives.

Well I wanted a new 10FP and that's just how they come now! I didn't buy the gun for the stock, I just wanted the stock for the gun! I may try that making it fit though, where can I get a new pillar?
If your planing on making it fit with a new pillar, and all else fails, you can make one from steel lamp tubing, I have herd of even using car brake line. But the lamp tubing works good, its all thread tubing, so there's plenty of outer surface threads for epoxy to get a good grip on. I used it on one of my 6BRs and its works great. Its also a little larger and that helps in alignment.
And you can also buy pillar kits, sort of a cut to fit kit. Doing this is not that big of a job, assuming your going to bed it anyway.

You can buy pillars from Stocky's for $11 or you can take the ones from the stock you have.
If it is a tupperware( the cheap stock) just heat up the area around the pillars with a hair dryer or heat gun and then tap them back through the stock. I have done it both ways, in a hurry drive them out, plenty of time buy new ones.

You can use Rem 700 pillars also, same radius and screw hole.
