Hunting Stock Design

[Shane Lindsey]

Savage can be tough to find support for.

I put a Bell and Carlson on an old Flat Back and it worked well. Has the aluminum block. Not much of a long range style. https://www.bellandcarlson.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1040

HS Precision has Savage stocks that can be be set up for long range.

Savage 110 Adjustable Stock - Pure Precision

The Savage 110 Adjustable Altitude series stock is designed for the hunter or shooter that wants to save weight on their rifle but add adjustability without sacrificing strength and durability. Utilizing layers of carbon fiber, a lightweight super strong fill and weighing approximately 38...

Unfortunately McMillan and Manners have stopped making stocks for them. Although Manners may still do one for the SA Savage.

Looks like the Rokstock is made by Stocky's. I've heard mixed reviews on Stocky's carbon fiber stocks.

That's a bit vague imo but ok

I haven't found a chassis I like for hunting yet, the manners eh1 is solid but heavy for what it is.

Thought I'd post an update of the Pure Precision stock I got for my Savage. Still working on getting everything fitting together.

How much weight, as pictured, did you shave off with the new stock? What is your hunt-ready rifle weight goal?

Howdy,
I currently have a MDT chassis rifle setup. It does have an adjustable cheek piece and a folding mechanism. However, in late season weather the aluminum is very cold.

What stock do you backcountry hunters prefer? Pictures would be great!

Attached are pictures of my current setup.
Savage 10
MDT Chassis
Carbon Six barrel, 22"
Shaw Ti brake
Leupold VX 5HD with Windplex reticle

100% prefer a chassis and I hunt all winter for predators. It can definitely be cold but it is rare my hands are not in a glove when it is below 30 and that's generally the high in the winter. I have zero desire to run a standard stock.

Very nice!

There are a few types of moleskin or adhesive backed camo fabric tape. Useful for quieting things down and keeping things like buckles quiet and also giving you a bit better purchase and warmth on hard cold objects.

Check out Peak 44 stocks. I love mine. I replaced a Manners EH-1. Going all lightweight.

For a hiking packing backcountry build, I'd be looking for a stock under the 26 oz mark. Preferably lighter which eliminates a chassis. Folding chassis are great for suppressed rifles where OAL is a factor.

Shaved off exactly 16 oz. The rifle is now at 8 lbs 6 oz just the way is sets there, scope and all.

What's the cost for the 1 pound saving?

Can you do a full length shot. Trying to see the ergonomics on it.

I did this one as it fits in the Christensen BA I picked up. About 18 oz. https://christensenarms.com/product/fft-sporter-stock/

 

[Buzzsaw]

All I got, hope this helps

I'll second the peak 44 with one caveat.
The ergonomics for the grip are excellent BTW.

I am not totally sold on the second generation recoil pad. seems to get rock hard in the real cold and deforms it not sitting just so in storage.

Almost too lightweight for a boomer.I did a 300PRC and it came out really light.
