Hi new to the forums, I have some guns but just recently took a step into the bolt gun world when I found a Savage 110 (pre-accutrigger) in 30.06, with 4x scope, 120 rnds of Federal Premium 168 bthp Sierra Matchking/Remington 165 psp CoreLokt for only $330 + shipping! STEAL! I took it to the range and it shot like a champ! I added a 20 MOA rail, so I could add a 6x20x50mm rifle scope ($36 Baska ebayed) bipod, and 4 Burris rings (maybe over kill but it keeps it solid) and it was producing much tighter groups. Anyways the thing shoots like a champ but it is UGLY as hell, so I decided get a better stock, unfortunatly stocks are $$ and I want to spend that on a better caliber/rifle in the future, so I decided why not play around and upgrade my existing stock. Fear of blowing my face off, I stayed away from the barrel channel, bedding, screws, action, trigger, anything vital. I added some fitted Douglas fir (strong and flexible wood), finished it off with some fiberglass and bondo (so its smooth) and gave her a good 25 yd toss and she pinwheeled end over end and is solid as a rock. I was going for the pricey AICS look and the thumbhole/pistol grip is much more comfortable.
I'm jsut looking for some input/comments/bashing on my little stock job. I love it and is very comfortable to shoot. Before you lay into me too much remember it basicly cost me $20 bucks instead of $950 a real AICS who by the way doesn't make any savage stocks.
What is looked like before (not mine but almost exactly alike)
What it looks like now
