Need for Spacer in Savage Mark II TRR stock??

[royd]

Purchased TRR two weeks ago. Shoots well with an occasional flyer. Noticed the stock was touching the barrel at the tip of stock, but was free floated behind that.

Took stock off to sand. Noticed there was a spacer and washer on post in front of rear stock screw (middle post). With it in place, tightening the rear screw rocks the stock back. Then when I tighten the front screw, it bows the front of the stock to touch the barrel. The spacer acts as a fulcrum.

Did not see a spot where it was needed with the TRR stock. Have rifle back in stock without spacer. barrel is floating at tip now. Have not shot it yet. Do all of them have this? looked in manual and saw one with a Mark 1. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
TIA,
Roy

Re: Need for Spacer in Savage Mark II TRR stock??

none of my mkii's have it, sorry i can't help you on the trr.

i did add a washer (spacer) to the bottom of the mounting pillars so as not to mess up the wood stock on my bv, which allowed me to tighten the mounting bolts more without damaging the stock.

but what your describing sounds more like the washer / spacer is making the receiver into a "teeter totter".
