Title: Crap, I am having a problem locating a stock
Post by: DoubleJ on October 08, 2011, 07:14:07 AM: I have a Savage/Stevens 200 in .308. It's one of the $400 jobbies from Cabelas. Anyway, this rifle is great, especially for the price. What I'm looking for is a wooden stock or a youth stock for it. I have searched and searched and have come close but, when I have the cash, I can't find the deal again. Anyone know where to consistently find one?

Assuming it is a SA centerfeed.

Post by: YellowDog on October 09, 2011, 07:52:34 PM: If Boyd's has that model stock that is the way I would go. My dad just bought one for a gun he is building for my brother for under $100 and it is really nice.

He ordered mine from Richards because Boyds doesn't make a thumbhole stock for the 1903 Sprinfield action I'm using. They are more expensive and have a longer turn around time because they build them to order. I think it is gonna end up being 8+ weeks for deliver from time of order. I'm sure it will be nice too though.

Worth the wait for mine, I like a gun that looks as nice as it performs.

Or savageshooters.com? YOu have to pay and become a member to use the classifieds on savageshooters. It's like $10 or so.

Post by: DoubleJ on October 10, 2011, 07:28:30 AM: Thanks for the leads guys. Lots of good info here and it will help a bunch. The reason I need another stock is to cut it down for my sons to use. A Youth stock would be even better but, that's like finding a white buffalo. Easier/cheaper to cut it down myself. Thanks again
Title: Re: Crap, I am having a problem locating a stock
Post by: jackelope on October 10, 2011, 07:30:47 AM: I had one that I gave to my neighbor. Maybe he's done with it. I'll ask him next time I see him.
There's usually at least a few Savage stocks on Ebay. I bought that youth stock on there. Knowing me, I didn't pay much for it but I don't remember just how much...maybe $30??

You can always build a spacer for the stock after it is cut down... so all you have to do is pull off the recoil pad and slap the spacer in there when you want to shoot it.

Post by: Cascade_fisher on October 10, 2011, 08:47:28 AM: I have a weatherby vanguard youth stock you can have to try to do any modifications to. It has a broken sling mount on the front and they replaced it for my wife and didn't want the broken one back. It is synthetic. I think LOP is 12 1/2". It is in good shape and free. I live in Seattle. Let me know if you want it to try. It was for a .308. So short action.

If you can find it, you've got a sale. :tup: It's a Savage/Stevens 200 so I think a 110 stock would work. After all of my research, I am still confused on that. It's a .308 so it's short action and it's a double stack blind magazine. Not sure off the top of my head if the magazine comes off with the action or stays on the stock. Apparently this is an issue with Savage where out of nowhere they decided to switch from one to the other. When I get a minute, I'll check.

Post by: FALFire on October 10, 2011, 03:04:40 PM: A 110 is the long action and the 110 stock will not fit on a short action, you will need a model 10, 11 or 16 stock. Then you will need to know the action screw spacing. Look on Stockys website, it explains the difference in action screw length and what all is needed.

Take note.....there is a 4-1/4" and a 4-3/8" screw spacing for the short action models, one will not fit the other. Know before you buy or you will wish you did.

Post by: Mookie on October 10, 2011, 08:25:47 PM: not necessarily. Savage awhile back only had the 110 action and all were long actions, even the SA cartridges. They changed to the centerfeed because it is more reliable, more universal and cheaper to make.

If you call savage and give them the serial number they will tell you exactly what you have.

I knew that and should have included that did bit of info. I was more focused on the current production of Stevens/Savage stocks and the current action screw spacing. He still needs to measure the action screw spacing, that will tell him everything he needs to know.

Oh...and here is another link, I forgot about Jim Briggs at Northland Shooters Supply.

Title: Re: Crap, I am having a problem locating a stock
Post by: webbspinner on October 10, 2011, 10:35:43 PM: I got a Ram-Line youth stock for my boys rifle from Bass Pro shops for under 50.00 bucks, had to put a shell carrier on the butt and filled it with paper, cause its hollow and noisy, but came with a great recoil pad on it. I have his wood stock in the safe redone and ready to put on now that he's bigger, but he still likes the synthetic. He even helped me put a camo paint job on it. :chuckle: I don't know if they still have them but you might look.

Post by: webbspinner on October 10, 2011, 10:56:57 PM: just went and looked, Cabelas has a boyds sa stock for 100 and some change. doesn't look like BPS carries the ramlines anymore. cabelas has some but not as cheap. :dunno: Wish I could help but the boys is a long action (30-06) or I could hook ya up. cheap ;)
