I am contemplating the same thing with my 110 7mm mag, mine has a wood stock. Brownells has a pretty good video on the process and lotsa info on the web especially in long range hunting and sniper/precision shooting forums. I have read that bedding compounds don't adhere well to synthetic stocks but I really have no experience either way, but as I said there is alot of info out there and I am going to attempt a bedding job after Christmas.
Good luck and post pics if you do it.
I think i'm gonna do mine probably next year. Since you're doing it before me, post pictures and so forth, I wanna see how it turns out. Good luck with yours, hope everything goes well

I have done it to a laminate stock I have for a 116 along with pillars. Just make sure to float the rear tang on the savages and lots of release agent and a container of play doh. I did this before shooting the rifle so can't say if it helped or not I just like removing possibilities of it not shooting good.
How's it shooting now tho?

It shot under moa but it now is getting a new barrel and different caliber.

I think 116 with synthetic stock shoots under MOA even without aNY changes

Depending on shooter I agree. I never really measured any of the groups and lost interest since I bought another wm in the process. I can tell you that after shooting that rifle I had some nice bruises on the shoulder for about a week. Haha

I've bed a lot of Savages over the years and I've found that I can get the same results in less time with less money by simply relieving material in the stock so that the action is only making contact on the top of the pillars and bedding the recoil lug. You end up essentially floating the action and barrel. I've only had one factory Savage that wasn't capable of shooting .75 MOA or better after doing this. The one exception was a 25-06 that just wouldn't shoot no matter what I did to it.

What made you go with a 22" barrel on your 284 campmeat? Gonna can it?
It's going to have a Sig suppressor on it is one reason, plus my 6.5 Creedmoor has a 22 inch barrel and shoots very well, at least out to 900 yards.

I bought the 111 in 6.5x284. I'm throwing away the stock and pencil barrel and using the action, having a Black Hole Weaponry 22 inch bull barrel made with it threaded, 5/8x24. I'll be mounting it on an MDT LSS Chassis. If you want a gun to do what you want it to do, do it.. I'll be into it for nearly a $1000 without buttstock, grip, scope rail and scope. But, it will be a shootin' machine for anything you wanna kill. :twocents:I'm only gonna use this rifle for hunting so I don't really need to spend a lotta money on it, trying to make it shoot half MOA. Bedding would only cost me 30 bucks that's why I wanted to do it, hoping that it would help the accuracy and the overall harmonics.

Savages are just plain ol' shooters. Maybe a Hogue Overmolded stock would be the ticket then..
