This stock is designed around the proof barrel. How much gap is there in the barrel channel?
In changing stocks and action screws, pay particular attention to length and depth of screw channel. I put an after market stock Bravo on a Tikka T1x 22LR and my accuracy was gone? It turned out the action screw would compress the material of the new stock and tighten against the barrel. Two indications: the screw went from loose to instant 40inLbs & during investigation noticed metal grooves on barrel thru action screw hole. Put a flat washer over screw and could then torque action screw incrementally from 10 to factory recommended. And accuracy returned and even improved slightly with only 30 inch pounds..........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......
Probably McMillanI had a buddy invite me on a prairie dog hunt in about 6 weeks, seemed like a good excuse to buy a rifle. Found a Savage 110 Predator in 204 Ruger, and it turned out to be pretty accurate. The stock, however doesn't have enough palm swell for my liking, would prefer a more vertical grip, and the forend is too narrow.
Hoping someone here has knowledge of good options out there for quality after market stocks to fit a Savage 110 short action, bottom bolt release. I'm open to changing out the bottom metal if I need to in order to get something to fit.
It's about perfect (barrel is free floating with minimal gap) for the fluted heavy barrel on the Savage PredatorThis stock is designed around the proof barrel. How much gap is there in the barrel channel?
MDT has some really nice chassis for the savage.I had a buddy invite me on a prairie dog hunt in about 6 weeks, seemed like a good excuse to buy a rifle.

I own a 110 tactical amd its one of my favorite rifles. Part of the awesomeness with these rifles is how well they perform especially at their price point. For me the standard stock was fine to introduce myself into long range shooting but afyer a while I would say it depends what you want to do with it. I went MDT but the Bell&Carson would be a great option too...I had a buddy invite me on a prairie dog hunt in about 6 weeks, seemed like a good excuse to buy a rifle.

Same thing here with savages. I even got one for hunting Africa because they are cheap and shoot so good. Didnt want to have an expensive gun stolen over there.I have yet to handle a savage that was not accurate. I even have a cheap axis model in 7mm-08 that shoots fantastic. Paid $400 bucks for it. I am the 7mm man....
For anyone else looking check out the Grayboe who is now making them also. Watch for their sales and you can get a very nice stock from them.
