[QUOTE="Old Hickory 45, post: 2206106, member: 115728"] I have a first model Savage skinny barreled .17 WSM BMAG with the factory flimsy stock. I added an inch length to the stock and bedded it. I also added two 3/16" threaded rods to the forearm to stiffen it. Then I added a Glades Armory bolt handle and a Burris 3X-9X scope. Now all I need is some range time. The rifle had good accuracy before the work but it depended upon where the forearm was rested, it being so flimsy. I certainly cured the flimsy problem. I bedded the stock with Brownell's Acra Glas and used a 'net suggestion of using neutral colored shoe polish for release agent and it works perfect. I have used the Acra Glass in my knife shop for over 30 years and use no other epoxy. The reason for overhauling the stock is I enjoy the light carry of the rifle. It's main use is for tree squirrel hunting and an occasional varmint. [/QUOTE]
