How will I know by looking at a stock that it will fit my savage?

Quite a few here but no HS or McMillan:

Just got the latest issue of American Hunter last night. There's a test of the Savage 11 FCNS w/Accustock and the author had the same complaint about the recoil pad. He suggested gluing the pad to a hard shim then screwing it back on to the stock.

A Savage won't fit into a Rem stock, but there's no need to even try. There are lots of stock options for the Savages. Is you're a centerfeed or staggered feed? You can tell by taking it out of the stock. If the magazine box stays with the action it's staggered feed. If it stays with the stock, it's centerfeed.

Thanks for all your help everyone.

I checked out the stockys website.  I am a little confused, I am only finding stocks for Savage 110 and I have a 116.  ?  I haven't found any 116's.  Am I missing something?

[jackelope]

I think the stocks will be the same as long as they are both accutrigger applications. You should do a little more digging to confirm that, but pretty sure thats the case. There's a pretty good savavge forum on the www.24hourcampfire.com site too.

anybody know the trick to getting this damn action out of the stock?  I removed the three screws and it won't come out.   #$%(@&

[MikeWalking]

If it's like my Savage you have three allen screws and one slot/phillips. Only the allens need to come out. If you have the Accustock your action has been pulled tight down into the bedding block which is a trough, it wraps your action on three sides so it may just need a little extra pull...

[FALFire]

Savage 110 and 116 are the same action length. The 116 is the number for the stainless Weather Warrior model I believe.

I removed all of the screws on my 16 and the Accu-stock came right off. Then I put it in this Bell & Carlson Tactical stock

[haugenna]

Well I have to say, this gun better shoot lights out b/c every other component on it is giving me headaches.  I got the $(#&@_ing action off finally.  I took out the three screws, and pulled on the trigger guard to get that to come off and broke the dang thing.  What a piece of crap. I didn't pull that hard either. 



Picture, look at the fracture by the screw.  The last screw was covered up by the bolt release.  Pulled on the trigger guard and it folded like the french.  I found the last screw and got it out finally. 

So much for a cheap find.

Don't let it get to you- chalk one up as a lesson learned. Parts should be easy to find in some of the earlier posts. Also- if you keep working that hard on that gun you are never going to like it so slow down and remember that as a sportsman, this is a hobby. It should be fun so take your time. good luck

[jackelope]

why did you buy it if it was such a piece of crap...tens of thousands of savage shooters must be wrong i guess.
