Hi All,
I bought a Savage 10/110 Trophy Hunter XP Rifle in .308 from BPS last year as my first rifle purchase. Figured it would be a good starting point - and that price point was great given it came with a Nikon 3-9x40.
At the time, I was keen on a wooden stock - never really liked the synthetic look, especially on the comparative 11/111. However after taking it out on a four day hunt up in Kearny I regretted it for two reasons. Firstly with the amount to trekking we did through the bush I wished I had gone with the lighter synthetic. Secondly we had a tonne of snow, and the soft wood soaked it up and now the finish is chipping in certain places.
What are my options here? Can I buy a synthetic stock and swap it out? If so where can I buy one and approximately how much will it cost? (I live in Toronto).
Alternatively can I fix the damage? At this point its mostly cosmetic but I don't want it to get worse with every hunt given I've only had it for for about 6 months and put 40-50 rounds through it.
