That size essentially doesn't exist, outside of select firearms and old Fords.
I was able to order the longer screws from Savage directly, over the phone. 2 longer action screws # 704346 were $2ea + $6 s/h = $10 shipped. Basically the same price as DIP's but in (my preferred) hex rather than torx.

The factory screws on my 93R17 FV measure .800" from the bottom of the head to the tip. The screws that came with the DIP bottom metal are .990".

Re: Boyds stock screws
Does that 0.190" really make a difference? I've bought from DIP before and was very pleased, so I'm not worried about the quality or anything like that, I'm just wondering if there is any real reason to get the longer screws when my factory screws work.

If you bed your stock or use DIP bottom metal the OE screws won't be long enough to catch the threads.
Let me clarify... by OE screws I mean the screws that come on the plastic stocked models. The wood stock models have the longer 1" screws. I simply ordered the longer screws from Savage because I prefer Hex vs Torx.

Wow, good to know... I was just about to order the bottom metal only. Thanks

Re: Boyds stock screws
The DIP bottom metal I ordered came with screws. That is where I got the .990" ones. And yes .190" can be the difference between working and not.
