Re: difficulty of replacing the stock

Not hard to do, but you will probably need to skim bed with Marine Tex or Devcon in order to reap any real benefits. Search the Hide for bedding articles and remember that the rear tang on the Savage action needs to float free.

Re: difficulty of replacing the stock

i thought that the stockade stock i would have to bed myself but i though B&C stocks came aluminum bedded? i know this is a huge jump in price and quality but would i have to bed it if i went with an manners mcs-t1 stock?
