It worked out great! I'm not recoil sensitive, used to my 7RM and 338WM, so the 6.5CM seems like a rimfire in comparison.

You're right on the notch, it was customer service who told me that. Guess I got that mixed up with our messages. Customer service also told me it would take "significant modifications to the magazine well" and "there is no spot for the L Bracket in the new stock" claiming it would cause the magazine to sit too high. This stock comes notched for the "L" bracket and also has steel pillars. I hope Stocky's updates the descriptions for the LRT. Have sent them numerous pictures, the measurements posted above, and my observations. They even responded to my "Success" email yesterday!

Will see if I can get a decent pic of my rifle today, came down with some kind of crud yesterday so housebound anyway.

Edit to add link to Fred's recommendation to shorten "L" bracket - http://www.savageshooters.com/showth...-Bedding/page2
