Re: SSS savage stocks
This is a Savage Mark II. The stock is a SSS in black. I would not do another SSS product! Lousy service, and an average product at best.

Re: SSS savage stocks
Thnks for taking the time to post TMan. The few people I have talked to about the stocks say the same thing "customer service was poor" That said Ive decided to keep looking, although I know the MKII market is rather small, the stockade site looks rather promising though
Thanks again

Re: SSS savage stocks
Well actually the people I talked to said the wait was pretty drawn out and long(sometimes 10 or more weeks) not necessarily poor customer service. I remember following that B&C thread before I purchased my MKII wish something would have come of it,, Oh well... thanks for your opinion Austan

Re: SSS savage stocks
You guys have to remember that Sharp Shooters Supply is only a 2 person operation. If they take a small break or family things, the wait may be a little longer.
When I dealt with them, service was great. I no longer have my Savage, but if i did I would deal with them with no questions asked.

Re: SSS savage stocks
CL1KKL4C,
Fred and Lisa are really great to work with. Some times things are somewhat slow, but they do what they can. They get real busy.
If you ever get a chance to call them, Lisa is great, and Fred knows Savages inside and out.

i gave a call to Stockade today and was told that they are swamped with orders and could not inlet any stocks for the Mark II for six months or more unless he had a group of them to do and make it worth the set up time. He didnt say an exact number but that might be something to set up a group by for if enough people are wanting stockade stocks before next year.

Re: SSS savage stocks
Sounds like a good idea, and I deff might be intrested. However, Im sure they would require a rather substantial number of stocks, and would probably want everyone to choose the same mold. Just my thought

I don't know. I talked to whoever it was that answered the phone and he talked like he was the guy in charge. To be honest he didn't sound like he was looking to do any rimfire stocks anytime soon. I think he has enough business doing less complicated projects lined up to worry about it for now. He did throw out the part about doing it if he had enough orders but i think that was mainly a consolation. I mainly called out of curiosity. I would like a stock from them but I just got a SSS stock that I waited 4 months for and I'm not really in the market to wait 6+ more months for another right now even if it is really cool.

Re: SSS savage stocks
SSS is top notch in everything they do. They did add a 3rd person but still they are swamped. Get a SSS you wont regret it.

Re: SSS savage stocks
My SSS savage stock is very well made and fit like a glove. Your looking at a 3 month wait and not 6 weeks. When ever I emailed them they did respond and was provided updates on delivery. Thanks Bob

Re: SSS savage stocks
I have both an SSS and a Stockade, now I will say that the SSS quality is a bit lacking but not a bad buy and there service does suck!! That being said the wait for a Stockade blows but worth every moment!! They make a great stock!!

Re: SSS savage stocks
I am at 10 weeks and counting. Actualy I began making my own stock. I figure it will be done about the same time I get my SSS stock. If so it ( SSS stock) will be up for sale. In the meantime I found this.
They have a lot to choose from. Has anyone ever ordered from them. Wait Time???

Re: SSS savage stocks
Actually a couple fellas on RFC got the richards microfit for their MKIIs. They said the inletting wasn't the best; far from a "drop in" stock, they made it work though.
I've just been waiting for someone to jump on the MKII stocks. Seems like there's potential for alot of money there, and I want a trainer to go with my 10fp(also waiting for a stock) Ill give B&C untill the winter to jump on it. If not I think Im just gonna get two P-Dog/Tacs from stockade and endure the wait.

Re: SSS savage stocks
I have been waiting for 10 weeks for a SSS stock and it still is not really what I want. To replicate a training rifle that is the same as my 2 AICS rifles I have started making a replica of the AICS chassis for the MKII. The mag well is in the wrong place to try and adapt the MKII to an exsisting AICS chassis so a complete new chassis is needed. I will start a new post later on the complete project.
I did see a AICS airsoft post earlier. This will also have areas to add lead or steel in different places to allow you to make the weight and balance exactly like my 308 AICS.
I also have been waiting for Stiller to release the 22 lr actions in a repeater. AICS chassis awaits.
Its Hell being impatient.

Re: SSS savage stocks
I have an SSS stock on my MKII and have been extremely pleased with it. It is very solid, and fits me well. The wait was very long for it (many months, but I don't recall how many), but that was expected going in.
Frankly, I approach custom orders like stocks and holsters with the outlook that it will probably be a loooong time before my order is filled, regardless of the time quoted. That is just the rub with custom orders, unfortunately, particularly with smaller outfits.

Re: SSS savage stocks
You are correct Target Terror. I always expect double the quoted wait time and if it shows up earlier I am happy. If I have no contact at all and the time quoted is double that quoted I start inquiring pretty extensivly.
In my business I am always trying to keep into the time quoted. If not communication is paramount.
Unfortunatly if the time frame gets really bad remember the squeeky wheel usualy gets taken care of. I always give any company all the options for communication and ways of working things out before I get aggressive.
So far SSS has been good and a long wait is ahead of me.
And I thought the ATV/Watercraft business was bad on delivery times. We used to have 10 employees but not it is just me and my wife. Small business have a hard time keeping up.

Re: SSS savage stocks
On a side note, How about a pic of that stockade mkII stock. I bet if you put it up, the demand would really grow and we could get a order in

Re: SSS savage stocks
Mine took about 3x longer than they told me it would and required a bit of fiddling with the inletting before things would fit just right, but in the end I'm happy with the results. Communication/customer service was horrible though.

I agree. I'd deff like to see a few, although Im sure they'll be identical to the ones one stockades site
Like I said earlier if they find time to inlet for rimfires I'll prolly buy 2 PDog/Tacts 1 for my MKII and 1 for my 10fp. I'd love to have a matching trainer. I'm sure a few others would aswell.

Re: SSS savage stocks
I got my stock in.
it took 4 months and the wrong wood color, I ordered three studs, two in the front, one rear, they sent me only two.
Very upset, but F%^k it.
I will never order any more, "I was going out out fit my company with 10 stocks soon" for trainer rifles.
But its nothing a can of spray paint can not fix

Re: SSS savage stocks
I feel for you J.Boyette. I have been super busy working and have not had time to work on my pet project. It looks like the work has slowed and I will soon be able to finish my AICS clone for a MK II . I picked that style as I shoot a AICS chassis in 308 and 300 WM . As I progress I will start a new post for that particular project..
As for my SSS stock still waiting. I am also a small business and overworked but I keep my customers informed as to the real lead time. I will actually overquote lead times so I have a cushion. Someday when I recieve my SSS stock I will add to this post what my SSS experience was.

Re: SSS savage stocks
Some points.
Since this was my first time trying to inlet a rifle stock, its a good thing it was not in the color I asked for.
I had some lessons learned in this process that wold of made me REAL pissed!!! If it was how I wanted the riflestock in the first place .
But at this time the CZ 452 LUX sits in the SSS stock just fine.
As soon as I have it done I will take some pic's and show it off to you all.

Re: SSS savage stocks
Very nice! Given the lack of other options, would you say it's worth it? I'm growing tired of the crappy feel and slip on butt pad to make my .17 long enough for me. Modifying the existing stock has merits, but I'd still have the cheap stock under anything I'd do to make it better. I was really hoping for the B and C, looks like that won't happen now though.
