This is not correct. The newer laminated ("B" for Boyd's) stocks will have everything that you need (TG, Mag plate, Longer action scews), but they factory pallet wood "G" version stocks do not.



Three problems;

1. The stock that you say is $20 more is a "G" version stock and does not have the parts that you need.

2. The Savage factory parts are really crappy... the TG is useable, but the mag plate is a flimsy joke... better off to pick up the DIP package for those parts. The parts that Boyd's sells are sourced from Savage, so they are the same cheap parts that would come on a "B" version gun...

3. To make matters more complicated there are some "B" version guns (mostly package guns) that have surface mounted TG's and Mag Plates, and these will not fit the Boyd's stocks, which require the "inletted" components... Savage does have the correct parts, but again they are not of good quality (don't ask me why they don't fix this problem?).

DIP parts that you need are here;

There is no Canada option on their shipping calculator? Do they not ship to Canada?

It's better than that little tiny ball that savage uses on their bolts. I swapped mine out for one from Bills myself to. Much better feel when swinging the the bolt and chambering a new round.

I can attest that the basic Savage wood stock does NOT come with the proper trigger guard or floor plate. The ones on my gun are not inletted. My gun does not have a boyds stock, just the savage wood stock. Ill be putting a boyds stock on soon and will have to buy the extra parts to get it done.

$43 on top of the $45 for the parts?

yup .. it bites but what can you say or do if you order from Boyds.

Ask Hoyt if he has any left over DIP parts or order from direct from http://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=353051&CAT=3602

I know that it's $40+ to ship the Boyd's stocks but that's warranted based on their size, just thought that $40 to ship two parts that fit in the palm of one's hand seemed excessive. Will see what Savage has to offer.
