[QUOTE="JTH, post: 3087809, member: 59647"] The Stocky’s carbon VG2 stock showed up today, pretty quick turnaround. It is very similar to a Manners EH-1, in design, it has much better palm swell and grip than the original factory stock (for my purposes anyway), and the fit and finish of the Stocky’s is very good. It is also incredibly light weight. The sling stud t-nuts on the inside were nicely epoxied over, and the inletting was pretty much perfect. Hard to believe I only paid $550 for a stock of this quality and got it in a couple days. I found out that this stock is designed around the Savages with plastic “bottom metal”. The predator model rifle I bought has metal “bottom metal”. It fit the inlet ok, but the front action screw was too short. A quick trip to the hardware store for a 1/4-28x1” button socket cap screw remedied the problem. I added an EGW full length picatinny rail to the action, and swapped out the two sling studs on the front of the stock for a picatinny/arca front rail. So far, I am very pleased. Here’s a photo of how it turned out: [ATTACH type="full"]564918[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
