Savage ultralite

[Tidus56]

Who did the stock? I like the idea of having it dipped.

Savage, that's there factory ultralite stock on the newer ultralite. But getting it dipped would be simple. There are lots of places that do it. I bet you can find a local place pretty quick. It will cost 150 or so I bet.

My gunsmith, straitjacket armory, does a great job. After they dip it, they do a clear cerakote on it to protect it. Costs a more because of this, but is super tough. They have like 350 different patterns to choose from. Most gunsmith, or places that hydro-dip things, should have just as many or more options I would think.

He's a couple paint jobs done to the Savage Accustock from an old thread on this site. Really nice IMO:

Long live @tbrice23 ...if I recognize the photo correctly that is

Because it UGLY!

Ya I don't know why they didn't make the cheek riser and butt spacers camo even if they didn't match up exactly. Would look way better!

Cost...all about cost. If I remember correctly the camo started out right near 100 more now it's 250 more. If they went up too much more they are pushing to reduce sale numbers on rifles.

I ordered an unfinished Boyd's stock for my ultralite. Finished it myself and had it bedded. Cheaper option but it turned out nice

Did you happen to weigh it prior to putting on? Some same those aren't super heavy either.

I didn't weigh the stock prior to putting it on. With the stock, rings, and scope it comes out to 8.8 lbs on a bathroom scale. Scope is 22.4 oz and the rings aren't anything lightweight.
Savage Ultralight is advertised at 5.8 lbs.

Boyd's stocks are pretty heavy even their featherlite

My 28N weighs 6lb 5oz and Savage claims 6. I've seen worse factory claims and as usual it weighs more as I expect.

Featherweight thumbhole inletted for a winchester model 70. I have seen where people have done some significant material removal and gotten them down to well under 2 lbs, but as they sit, the featherweight thumbhole is about 2.6 lbs.

Nice rifle.
