archangel AAS10 stock. short action 6.5 cm

[nathantc]

just posting for the guys wanting something different than oem without spending a lot. a nice stock to be out in the weather, shooting in the real world and not care if it gets scratched or "used"

feeds far better than it ever did with the oem DBM. by far the smoothest its ever cycled at any speed you cycle it. seems the stock and mag set up work flawless with the 6.5cm. its pillar bedded with 1" diameter pillars but im going to take it to be professionally fitted and bedded. i had to make the recoil lug recess wider and deeper to get it to fit. i have a 223 action that dropped right in. not sure why the 6.5 has a much larger lug but it did. the bolt release being on the side instead of the trigger guard is a nice change as well. mag drops free and locks in with a full 7 rounds on a closed bolt with ease and an audible click.


im not going to say its the end all beat all. but for only $160 its a massive upgrade over the oem stock. extremely comfortable, very nice adjustments. much stiffer. if i ever want more than this ill get a chassis. but this thing is damn comfy standing and prone.
its butt heavy but that actually helped a lot with the heavy barrel i have. the rifle just about balances at the front scope ring now
barrel free floats and would so even if the barrel was a straight taper bull.


its inletted for both top and bottom bolt release, and the front pillar/screw hole is slotted to fit both screw spacings. had to trim 3 threads off the screw in the front to clear the bolt when tightened. no change in zero after instal but i only fired one round at a water bottle 100 yards off. so if it did it was slight.

at the time of the typing this it actually went down in price. go figure lol but only $10 less than i paid. shipping was $14

oh and much to my satisfaction, it does NOT have that terrible built in bipod like they showed in all their adds. it has two simple M-lok slots at the front bottom. perfect for any type of bipod adapters you could want.

and here are some close ups of the magazine loaded with 7 rounds of 140g 6.5 cm. i cant stress enough how awesome the mag feeds. it holds the rounds at exactly the correct angle that the projectile never touches anything that i can tell while loading. smooth as silk.

Thanks for posting the pics n info. What is the bedding used in these and have you had the chance to see how it shoots, accuracy wise?

Unfortunately for the Savage we only have the option of pillar bedded, but if you were buying this stock for the Remington 700 there's two versions one is aluminum block bedded and the other is pillar bedded. So far I've only fired two rounds out of the rifle. Before doing the swap with the stock I could Cloverleaf rounds with the proper ammo at a hundred yards. I doubt there would be any accuracy improvement over what it was already doing as it's an impressively accurate rifle to begin with. But the ergonomics and comfort as well as the angle you can bear down on the trigger are worth every penny.

My biggest motivation is that I could never get the rifle to feed properly with the 6.5 Creedmoor. the round always seem to want to jump up above the bolt and bind in the chamber. you would have to release pressure from the bolt handle it would drop in place and then feed just fine. Tried multiple OEM magazines tried messing with feed lips. never could get it to feed properly drove me insane. As cheap as these stocks are and the fact they come with a MAG it was worth the price to see if it could solve that, while adding a bit of comfort. I still can't get over how smooth the action is in this stock. I've never owned a Savage rifle that feeds this smoothly. Running the bolt without any ammo feels the same as actually loading the rifle

I have an off the reservation budget build coming up shortly
I looked at this stock and the Choate ultimate sniper. Choate
won out with the aluminum bedding block. When it shows up,
it going on the mill for surgery.....Fellas, I've seen this stock
up close up on a 22/250 varmint build. For the money, it's
under priced. Polymer has come a long way.

I had the ultimate sniper stock on a 270 I built years ago. it's butt ugly but damned functional. if I were to use a stock from that maker again it would be there Tactical looking one, for aesthetic and the fact that it's built just like the ultimate sniper, with the full-length aluminum bedding block. The only reason I didn't go with that this time, is they've honestly gotten too proud when it comes to their price. the price was fair when it was $175 it's double that today and I don't believe it's worth double as I can get an oryx chassis for slightly more at that point

Even though all my savages are in MDT , i must admit this budget stock actually looks pretty cool ,can't beat the price for sure. Can you insert other mags to seat bullets past 2815 COAL?

i think it only works with their mags. not sure how long of a bullet can be loaded into them. the 140g are all ive tired and they have room to spare

So will this stock work with the 12FV.......meaning no additional bottom metal required?

If your rifle has the proper screw spacing and the receiver is based off the Savage model 10 which I believe it is it should fit and does not require any bottom metal for this stock at all. The only thing the stock requires is your barreled action. Now if you're like me and you have the longer and tapered recoil lug you will have to do some fitting to make the rifle that down in the stock. I have no idea what recoil lug the Model 12 has. I do know some models of savage like they're Target models have different screw spacing on the receivers and will not be compatible with standard model 10 stocks. I'm not 100% sure what the number designations mean I just know that double digit stands for short action and triple digit numbers stand for long action. My rifle is a model 11 which to me is no different than a model 10 other than stock that comes with the rifle.

The Dual Port Savage action is the only action that comes to
mind in the target series that has different spacing. The single
port target actions bolt right up other then not being able to
use the center screw if one is provided. With the single shots,
it's a moot point anyways, but they bolt right up.
