Looks great.
The tang looks to be too far forward too...if it was me I'd take the recoil lug off and set the action into the stock...do the screw holes line up and does the bolt handle then slide into its notch or is it still forward?...is so the recoil lug can be ground back and then glass bedded...if the screw spacing is off it might be a 4.27" SA stock instead of a 4.4"...only an 1/8th of an inch or so of difference but enough...
I have to remove the barrel, checking it without the recoil lug makes good sense. The bolt spacing, is very close to 4.40", maybe a bit long, but even then, only by a smidgen. I checked it with a caliper early on, thinking it might have been a long action. I'm guessing the channel was inlaid by a new guy, on a Monday, hung-over.
Thought I'd update the wood is good thread...yes..wood is very good...
Wet and looking good...stock will be really nice with a dark oil finish..
Action being fitted...
Opened up barrel channel to take the varmint 16.5" barrel...
A tip...when grinding a rubber "grind to fit" recoil pad...buy a 5lb block of dry ice, bust it up into little pieces adn snuggle the recoil pad into it and freeze it solid...grind till it starts to warm up and get soft...freeze again...repeat until done...
I finally determined the problem with the wood stock I received from Numrich. While it was designed to fit a Savage 110 short action, it was a short run of Savage 110s built for a rebranded rifle, the Westernfield 710. The screw spacing is 4.25" and some of the other inletting was off. Anyone need a wood stock for a Westernfield 710?
I would send it back...the one I have is great
Captbeach do you remember what part number you ordered from numrich? Did it happen to be 1223500? I'm wanting to get myself another project but I want blind mag staggered feed and I see yours is inletted for dbm. Thanks
