I bought Savage Model 110 , it is chambered in 7mm rem mag. I like the Basix trigger design. I like the floating bolt head design. I like the barrel nut to set headspace. I like the BT bolt handle that can be installed in seconds. I don't like the tupperware stock. I don't like the stagger feed design in the rear action screw area and I don't like the fact that this rifle has no detachable magazine. This is no good when you have a one piece scope mount. I ordered a new stock from a reputable gunstock manufacturer for sixty dollars. And after reading on Savageshooters.com they said I can get a Detachable Box Magazine Kit, from Sharpshooters Supply. So I ordered it. It was eighty-five dollars. So I got the parts, it had no instructions. There is not one good blog or sticky over at Savageshooters.com on how to do this. The first thing was, I didn't like was that the magazine box and magazine floorplate fit was poor and it had to be modified. Then. I also noticed that the magazine box didn't positively lock into the frame. It can be easily pushed out. They provide no action screws for this product and the front screw they gave me was the wrong size. Also, they provide no template or dimensions for inletting the stock , that is inexcuseable in the days of autocad. Not to have directions is bad to. No you tube video on this. Ok so I went about inletted my very nice walnut stock. I had to take out about 1/2" in front action screw area along with a notch right next to the screw this weakened this area about 50 percent. The rear action was area was inletted about 3/8" of an inch this gave me about 1/4" of wood at the rear action screw area. With the help of Savage Arms, Sharpshooters Supply and Savageshooters.com I managed to bubba my rifle up and flush 150 dollars down the toilet. Sharpshooters Supply claim these parts came from Savage, they came up with great stock design and provide great technical support for this project. Another thing I wonder why Sharpshooters Supply don't inlet Savage stocks with stagger feed magazines? I also like to thank Savageshooters.com for recommending to me how I can bubba up my rifle. In Japan , the stagger feed stock design in rear pillar area would be considered a defect. So would a a tupperware stock like mine. When I made a you tube video about this and posted it on Savageshooters.com they kicked my ass of it. No word from Sharpshootersupply on what they want to do about this. I have had contacted Savage to see what can be done.
Now I wished I bought on Old Remington. I could of just got with a wood stock and pillar bedded. And I could of bought a Kwik Klip system form Cabela's and been done with it.
