No worries Sponxx - I wasn't trying to berate you or your work, just pointing out something that's been known for years now so those new to Savage's and this site won't see this and think it's the 'Final Solution' for their wet noodle tupperware stock issues. The only way you're ever going to eliminate the flex the forend of the tupperware stocks is to bolt on a piece of aluminum angle to the outside of the stock that extends rearward of the recoil lug pocket which wouldn't be practical or aesthetically pleasing.

With GOOD factory wood stocks typically being available for $50-60 in the classifieds, Boyds selling brand new laminates for a little over $100, and Bell & Carlson offering reasonably priced synthetic stocks there's no excuse - none - to waste your time, energy and money trying to "fix" the factory tupperware stocks. If someone's that cheap or they don't have the patience to save up a few bucks for a month or two to get one of the above then they probably just need to go back to an air rifle or BB gun because they're surely not going to be able to stomach the price of centerfire ammo and reloading components these days. Sorry if that comes across as harsh or rude to anybody, but some folks just need to hear it that way to get the message to finally sink in. lol

I'm all for doing it yourself IF and WHEN it makes sense and the effort actually yields a measurable improvement, but this one has been proven time and time again to be a lost and hopeless cause.
