Yes, I did find that the front screw is too short. I purchased a longer 1/4" fine thread bolt from the hardware store. I counter sunk it because it has an allen head. The rear screw which goes through the front of the trigger guard was usable.

post it please.
Ok, I wanted to wait until my new SSS stock came in. Here it is in the bondo stock painted with Kylon.
Barrel is a take off from a Savage 10fp in 7mmRM. Metal is all Kera-coated by local GS who also installed the break. The break is pretty ugly but it was something the GS had lying around and he gave me a deal on it and this entire project has been trying to see how cheap I could build a long range rifle. The farthest I have taken it out is 656yds and it still shot about 5.5" if I remember. I need to try it again since I had the break installed. I can shoot it a lot more consistently without the huge recoil.
My blue Boyd stock are on the way to my home. Have any of you actually ordered the screws from Savage Arms Canada?
Looks Great !!!!
I have a Stevens in .223 and was thinking of looking at
http://www.sharpshootersupply.com/
for stock options?
Any feedback .. good/bad?
That Boyd's Ross Featherweight looks good though !!

I need to do something like that with the stock on my savage package gun. Either that or wait for Ian Robertson's new web site and buy one of his excellent stocks. Its satisfying to do that stuff yourself though.
Apparently, if you do not hold your throat while gazing into a mirror and repeating My Stock will arrive quickly for 20 minutes a day, then you can have a bit of a wait.
You could PM this guy. he got a nice stock from there. I am waiting for the same one, but I know the mantra.

Apparently the formula is :
stock + barrelled action including trigger + scope = total weight of the gun.
Wow! I'm a posting machine this morning. Wonder if its because I got up at 5am to go to the range but could'nt face the drive and now I'm bored ####less.
