Re: 110ba stock swap

Manners can also make you a stock. T4 would be my recommendation. Probably less wait time than McMillan.

A few companys that can help you with the rail are EGW, Ken Farrell, Murphys Precision, and Nightforce.

As far as converting to single shot there are plates that you can weld in but those are for remington 700s. I have not seen any for savage actions buy I am sure one can be made.

Re: 110ba stock swap

For a savage, I expect you would have to make your own weld in plate. I have never seen one for the Savage action.

That being said, I would avoid doing that. When you put all that heat and stress into the action by welding it, then grinding smooth, and then refinishing the action, it has a very good chance of changing the dimensions, or warping it. Then you have to have it trued, (very uncommon on a savage due to design), and then you have more money into the project.

The actions are sturdy enough by themselves to shoot .338LM.

If you truly want single shot, then use the aluminum sled.

For stock replacement, I will changing the stock on the 110BA that I just picked up sometime in the future, but I am hoping that KRG will have their W3 for a savage long action by then.

McMillion (McMillan) is a very nice stock, but they seem to take a long time, and don't have much of any advantage above the Manners.

You could also look at Stockade stocks.
