Yawn, another Savage in the stable

[glenn asher]

Heck, it's not even worth a picture....... Last month, I had an offer to trade off my old worn out Howa .223 for a like-new Howa .270, so I had to do it, it was too good a trade to pass up. That left me with only one .223 in the mix for next season's PD shootin'. Not a happy situation at all, so I trundled off to look around for a "bargain" and found a new 12FV-Y model down at the local funshop, and put a deposit on it.
As luck would have it, Midway's new flier had Duramaxx stocks listed on sale, for SA Savages with heavy barrels, so I ordered one post-haste. It arrived before I was ready to pick up the rifle:) but I finally got around to picking the rifle up last night, and I still had the scope, in the rings, from where I'd snatched it off the Howa before the trade. A simple movement of the front ring had it on the rifle pretty darned easy, no fooling around.
Everyone knows what a blued, heavy-barrelled Savage looks like, and most folks know what a black synthetic Duramaxx looks like, so there's no need to post a picture. Shoot, I can even guess how it's gonna shoot............... I think those danged PDs better watch out now............

OK! New truck (dealers beware) then the series of rifle transactions. Looks like you've gotten in the habit of coming out on top. Any of your ancestors in the horse tradin' business? :D

Of course, it will shoot. It's a Salvage! :cool:

Your post makes Savage sound boring and predictable :confused:
There are two heavy blued Savage barrels around here that think they are shotgun barrels, I should sell them but that would be just plain mean! The last Stevens with a sporter 223 barrel shot great but had the trots for a 204, that barrel got shipped so someone else could enjoy it.
Ran across a Savage in 223 that needed a new home, not that I needed another 223 but it is the only Savage I have sean with a Walnut stock.
Got some age to it but dont we all and it was cheaper than a new FV(why people call Savages fugly)
Merry Christmas to me :D

Now I gotta find another scope to put on it....Decisions ...decisions???

Maybe the horse-thieving business, Doug, but I'm not supposed to talk about that, it's a Missouri thang..........

CJ, if it weren't predictable, I wouldn't have bought it d:^)

i have a stevens mod 200 SA.....will this duramax stock fit that? is it the same as a savage 10? AJ

[T.D.C.]

The older style stock, pre 2X4, often contained an adjustable trigger. Did you take a peek. I have one from the late 60's or ear;y 70's that doesnt meet the criterion of fugly. Except for the faux montecarlo stock with the hump. it is named dromedary, for one hump.

the steven's rifles are just the old model savages that didn't have the accu-trigger. the stocks will fit your stevens. i took a b&c stock off a old model 10le and put it on my .308 model 12. then put a b&c stock on my model 12 .223. somebody tried to tell me a model 10 stock won't fit a model 12 but i know for fact yes they will. i've done it. my .308 is now in a stock ade long range benchrest stock. the thing about the durramax stocks is they still have fore-end flex. not as bad as the factory stock, but it is still there. they are just a small step above the factory stock. i like the stockade stocks for replacement stocks. yes they cost more but it is worth it. i have a medalist stock loaned out to a friend of mine for the model 10le i sold him. he is wanting to put a boyds thumbhole stock on it and stain it red. i'll end up putting in the pillers and glass bedding it for him. but the b&c stocks will fit your stevens rifle.

for the info gonzo.....i have a stevens that i want to play with and try to do a "poormans" longrange shooter.....i'm looking for a barrel for it in a 22-250 with a fast twist to shoot the heavier bullets....probably go with the boyds thumbhole stock.....ive already re-worked the trigger and have it shooting in the 1/2' range with the factory stock...anybody out there with a barrel to sell, give me a shout....AJ
