Well after lugging the Savage 10ML ii around for a week I came to the conclusion that the gun is amazing however the factory stock is a piece of crap... LOL
I am looking to upgrade to a better synthetic or wooden thumbhole stock. I had a thumbhole on my TC Omega & it was the ticket...
If any of you Savage users have upgraded your stock please let me know what you have & where it came from...
Cheers!
Jeff
Hey Jeff, meet Boyd's Gun Stocks. https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/
I got a Richards Microfit for one of my earlier savages. Nice stock and it came about 90% finished, I had to tweak the inletting and sand down and put on the finish. I used Tru oil approx. 15 coats and the stock looks and wears great. It is considerably heavier than the Tupperware stock but feels and shoots much better. The Thumbhole takes a little getting used to especially for snap shots, but not impossible.
I don't have any pics of just the rifle just a few with game.

You can buy drop in stocks from savage as I have done or the other two suggestions above are excellent.
Smokeeter - nice!
Real nice.
I just don't see how a savage could be upgraded. That's crazy talk
Well where's the savage Now? Take us a pic of itQuote:

Nice collection smokeeter. Post a pick of your converted 45. Would definitely like to see the finished smokeless conversion.
Thanks in advance.
Smokeeter, do you have a use for all those smokeless guns, or are you just a collector of the finer things in life?

And yes I do enjoy some of the finer things in life, these provide us with a little bit of both.
Real nice collection. I really like the thumbhole wooden stock. :)
Are the Remington guns customs .I never seen a smokeless remington. D
Yes they are all customs modified boltnose and firing pin and breechplug designed for smokeless applications which completely seals ignition and eliminates blow by. .458 cal. barrels: RKS, Douglas, and Kreiger.
Will your savage be convereted to a sabotless 45 and who does your custom conversions? I have a savage as well. I might consider doing this down the road.

MY MLII with boyds pro varmint, makes it feel like a real gun, I think I will only buy synthetic stocks and upgrade to boyds.
