I have not been able to shoot it yet but mine looks fine. There was a thread on RFC where they were talking about a McM copy that was out of spec but it was made by someone else.
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

was going to try the bondo a5, but time is money and I think for $79 I can afford to buy one. if the barrel channel is out of spec it would probably not be too hard to fix.
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

I ordered one for my 93.Even though it's for the heavy barrel contour and I have the sporter barrel,I think I'm going to use like that black insulation foam tape for a barrel channel filler.I saw a thread on RFC on that.Considering the price,the way it's only limited production,and it's the style I wanted,I couldn't pass it up.All I need to do now is order the bottom metal and wait for it to get here.
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

I got one on the last buy and it's a great stock.I'm ordering another 10/22. Does anyone know if the one for the Rem 597 will fit a .17 HMR or .22 magnum?
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

As far as I know,the 93 and MKII share the same stock.Maybe not in wood versions but my synthetic is stamped 93/MKII I believe.The magnums have different bottom metal though.Don't hold me to that but it's what I've heard.Someone else may be able to confirm or disprove that.

Not sure where you saw that it was out of spec? You might be thinking of the thread about the "tactical image guys TIG " stock found here http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=316749
Scroll towards the bottom of the page to see the pics lmao !
The Boyds stock is GTG ! </div></div>

That would be the one I was thinking about.
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the bottom metal from the factory stocks? Wondering if I really need to purchase a new set from savage...
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

My MKII has the plastic stock with the molded in trigger guard. I contacted Savage yesterday and told them what I was ordering from Boyds. They're sending me a trigger guard and assorted pieces. Once it and the stock are here, I'll see how it fits and report back.

Not exactly, but it's not a whole lot heavier than the factory stock.
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

How much did it cost from savage? I have a synthetic as well, but it wasn't with me to check... I could have swore it had a metal guard, but I guess I was wrong so I gotta order me some as well.

Checked the weight tonight using my highly calibrated method of stepping on the digital scale with and without it

and it came to 3.2 lbs.
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

ok I have an older 93 HMR with plastic tuperware stock and I just ordered a Boyds what else and who from do I need to order. It's a NON ACCUTRIGGER. Thanks for the help.
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

Anybody received shipping notice yet? Paid for overnite to be able to set mine up and be ready for the weekend. Order says "Processing."

No big deal except for paying for overnite!
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

Ordered mine on the 5th. No shipping notice yet.
They said they would start shipping them on the 11th but I'm not sure how long they were taking back orders before I ordered mine.
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

I ordered mine on the 4th... good point on back orders. As I said, I was just hoping to have it for the weekend.

Heading to the in-laws and not much to do there!

Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

I have a mkiifv (accutrigger, e-receiver) and ordered the boyds stock... called savage today and asked for the replacement bottom metal and the lady said it would be 40 bucks with shipping. why so high? badshot308 lives in NY as well and he paid 14? what am i missing? can I use any of the metal currently on my synthetic? the lady i talked to seemed like she didnt know what i was talking about, but didnt a lot of you have to call for bottom metal? i would think she would zip right through it

I ordered mine on the 7th and it's still
processing... I'd imagine they got quite a few orders to fill.
 
Re: Tacticool back at boyds and shipping May 11th

Dropped my order today - also showing "processing".

I do need to thank the OP on this heads-up - I've wanted a better stock for my Rem597 for a while now, and this looks like the ticket. Thanks!
