Just full of silly ideas tonight ... third and last Q for today. I like my Savage 110, but am disappointed at the lack of stocks available for it. Everything is either for the Rem 700, the M70 or else the Mauser. Now, I don't have the receivers handy, and too much Shiraz makes things fuzzy, but would it be feasible (without too much work, ie inletting) to use the stock for another type of rifle (such as a Mauser) and mate it to a Savage receiver ....

I would so much like to have a different stock for this sucker .... now, a McMillan A4 would be sweet, but last I checked, only for the 700 and M70 ....

Thoughts?

Marty,

First off, the Savage and Rem 700 are quite similar, and McMillan will inlet the 700 stock for a 110 action.

Second, check out the "Stockade" stocks for the Savage at Lock Stock and Barrel (Lockstock.com). It is not a McMillan, but it is a solid quality stock. Or, when you have Fred Moreo on the phone, ask him about them, he sells them, too.

They will also make them at a custom LOP for little extra charge -- handy for guys with gorilla length arms like you and I. You can call the manufacturer directly for more details:
