Did you change anything else ? scope bases ?
No sirDid you change anything else ? scope bases ?
Hope so, wondering if i should float that area a littleIt's probably the tang.
Yes sir, if it's touching anywhere in the tang area, it will throw vertical.Hope so, wondering if i should float that area a little
yep, have an older savage 110 that i recently put a shilen 7mag barrel on.
Prior to the new stock, i had the factory wood stock that i floated the barrel on. Rifle shot great with 162 eld-x's ( bughole at 100) . I recently acquired a choate long range varmint stock and took it to the range. I experienced quite large vertical stringing issues when fired off of my usual rest. The original stock was not bedded, the new stock is not bedded either , other than the aluminum block it comes with. Do you think it's driver error? Maybe the pistol grip is changing something? I read somewhere the stock may need weight in the back. I might try that next. As always thanx in advance for any and all input, criticism.

Thanx for your reply, i'm sure you will be relieved in knowing that i don't trust any advertising. Bought the stock because it fit my budget. Had great success with the same brand in my buddy's 6.5 swede in a savage action and that's when i decided to give it a shot.You simply have a bedding problem. Vertical is either load or bedding. I built and shot winning competition bench guns for 50 years for a living for a major barrel manufacturer.
First off you have been sold the idea of the bedding vee being perfect. They are not. If they were every bench gun would be using one...they are not! Second you have no idea if your action is perfectly round, full length even if the block happened to be. It's much like the lapping of scope rings falsity. Then screw holes have to be enlarged so the screws have no side contact, the recoil lug cannot bottom out, then the torque must be correct. Take some artist white oil paint and coat the bottom section of your action and lug, put it in the vee block and tighten to required specs. Remove and see what you have for contact. Never trust advertising, see for yourself. Correct the problem and re shoot. Never change two things at once in a test!
That is some paint job!,here is mine, pardon the kitchen renovationView attachment 142299 I love a Savage 110 Action and a Choate stock, the only issue I had with mine was the scope came loose the day after the build and two days before Deer season.....
