Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

Hey Doug

Take a look at this one from Boyd's Stocks. I think it's the stock they are run'in on the TR.

http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/Boyds-TactiCool-Savage-93-p/600-430.htm

It's not plastic, But I think it's a lot better stock for the price.

The pro's:
well built/design
Great finnish
Drops right in

The con's:
It's heavy(wood)
Depending on your model you might have to call Savage on replacement bottom metal and trigger guard/screws. But fits right up. Also the rep.s at Savage are familiar with all the parts you need to convert your model over.

Boyd's are back ordered all the time, but I called them and got one right away if color is not a problem.
No regrets so far, I've used it everyday for the last two months and it has it's fair share of bumps and dings. And has held up.

Hope this helps

James B.

I think it was about 30 or 40 bucks worth of parts and shipping from Savage.

Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

i was reading on the boyds site about this stock and it was saying somthing about the savage 93-E do you think this is a typo or a older model no longer in production, just curious cause i have the 93R. thanks for the price info also
 
Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

Not sure on that, I called Boyd's direct and advised them of my rifle's model number etc. and they fixed me right up. Real good guys to deal with. The order desk put me on hold to see what they had ready to ship, I thought that was pretty cool of him. Came back on and told me what he could ship right away. Boom done.

My second step was to call the Savage parts desk. I explained what I was doing with my 93R and what stock I purchased. The guy knew what I needed without me explaining anything. Fixed me right up.
Just a heads up on Savage, they don't email you when the parts are shipped. Didn't scare me none though. Got the parts in about a week.

So the stock conversion went without any snags.

Hope this helps

PS> Doug I can post a picture here if you wanna see it mounted up.
 
Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

I have a Tacticool stock and my 93FV Magnum on the way. I was under the impression the gun would fit the Tacticool stock as well. Anyone know?
 
Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

Gachrid,

I'm not familiar with the FV model, maybe another hide member can chime in to answer.
You can always call Boyd's.

Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

Yeah the 93FV is the same as the 93R17FV. Doug, did you talk to Boyds about fitment?
 
Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

i havent had the opportunity to call yet, it might actually be 3-4 months before i can call. but if you get ahold of them before i do, i would love to hear how it works out for you
 
Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

McMillan m40a1 stock, Dick mentioned that the 93 series will fit in it.

Gotcha. I'll need a second stock for my MKII anyway so I'll probably drop them a line and see what they say about fitment.
 
Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

just ordered a boyds for my 93fv- got the blemished for 60.00- I will let you guys know when it gets in -
 
Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

Already talked to Boyds. Tacticool will fit the 93FV. Should be ordering all my parts next week for my 93FV. Need to order the parts from Savage for my MKII as well.
 
Re: savage model 93 stock suggestions?

I'm holding out for the McMillan M40A1.
Please post some pics, if you can, of your Savage in the Boyd's stock.
