Homemade stock for savage

[fuzzyjoe]

I decided to try and make a stock for my rifle, since the Savage 93FV comes with a plastic stock I decided to make one. The first pic is the stock I started making out of Pine to see how har it would be. Then I started making it out of Walnut. This is it so far..

The first sanding is done now i have to sand it with 180 grit.

I used a dremmel tool to make the trigger and floor plate fit.

And this is how it fits...

Nice. Will it be for benchrest shooting mostly? Looks hefty.

Re: Homemade stock for savage

Yes I am making it for benchrest only.

This is actually my second stock my first one is the pine stock on the first pic but pine was too soft and easily damaged...so i decided to use walnut to see how it would turn out. I also make pens and bottle stoppers and other stuff on the lathe.

Nice work! I love to see people do things like this. Your stock looks to be coming along nicely. What kind of tools are you using to do the shaping?

Let us know how it shot... looking to re-stock mine as well and thought about doing my own. Was the in-letting difficult?

Re: Homemade stock for savage

Very difficult! I used the original stock to go by using a drill press and router is hard I had to use small bits and work up to keep from making them too big. After I got that done I started working on the thumbhole, did most of that with a rasp and sanding discs. then I ran into a problem with the original screws to mount it with had to get some longer ones. and if you do decide to make another stock....To get a steele trigger guard dont go to savage..they sent me a plastic one so I used one from an old Marlin stock I had. Anyway I will post the results when done.
