I am also looking to find me a 93FV to build on. I have been looking for people making stocks that I could use also.

I like some of the Laminates, and I also like the pretty Walnut woods. Try this link http://www.rifle-sto...atthumbhole.htm

I do NOT know them, I just found them from a previous message, and have been really looking at their work. From the looks, they will be my choice.
Downside for this site, is it seems they are backlogged. Up to 10 weeks for a stock to come out. The good side, is they will cut in almost any
inletting you can think of. I never saw such a large list of available inletting choices.

They have some kinds of stocks for almost any style you might want. I am looking closely at the wildcat thumbhole for my choice, but thats just me....


Enjoy!!

I have a Savage 93, blue bull barrel and synthetic stock. I like the rifle very well. I bought it because I live surrounded by corn and soybean fields and the area groundhogs have decided that under the poured concrete floor of my barn is a good place to make a home. I have been persuading them otherwise. The Savage has been extremely effective at this. I have not taken the rifle to the range and tried to see how accurate it is but think that I will try it when the weather permits. The accutrigger is one of the better triggers I have used and would recommend it.

Now, with that said I also assembled a Ruger 10 22 with a Hogue stock and a Technical Solutions aluminum 16" barrel and really like the results. The gun is extremely light and handles well. Not been able to range that one either but there are a few very dead pop cans out there.

I was searching for a .22 mag that was light handling like the Ruger but could not find a very good doner receiver. I went to my local gun store and was looking at a Browning T-bolt in .22 mag and was very impressed. Light, handles well and very pretty gun. I was about to decide on it when I noticed that the stock was cracked. Of course it was the last one they had. Well, they showed me a Magnum Research .22 mag.

Ya, I have it now. It is impressive to say the least. Completely machined receiver, carbon fiber barrel and laminated thumbhole stock. The scope rail is machined as part of the receiver. Even the company name and model are engraved into the gun. Very pretty. I will have more info when the weather breaks and I can go out and shoot it but I am extremely happy with it.

Even heavy barrels vibrate. I would sand it out so it clears. I like a business card thickness of clearance. Too much and "stuff" can get under it and cause the same problem as the stock touching. Too little and the weather can cause the stock to swell or warp and touch.

What Carl said !! Thats the ticket. Clearance will help prevent stringing from a growth problem.

Should do the trick for you....

well sanded the stock put it back on ran a dollar bill between that barrel and stock ran all the way down now im puting the tru-oil on and have a question how many layers do u put on i put one layer waiting for it to dry but looks like a covered all the bare spots

[LongPlay]

Well, the rules from most Linseed oil types of finishes is 12 hours between coats, and for the inside of a barrel channel, I would think 2 is plenty. Outside I would go for 5 to 6 coats with a very light evening out with 400 or 600 grit wet/dry... Usually gives good results.

My wife has what I think is a better plan. She puts on 4 or 5 coats one after the other, no waiting. The #2,#3, #4, and #5 coats do not really amount to a full coat, but she is constantly rubbing it in to get the wood fully saturated without having runs or streaks before she stops for her "first" day or first FULL coat. It could be left at that, the coating is so well evened out after 2 or 3 hours of hand rubbing... ( got to love that girl!! ). Next day she goes over it with 400 grit and does it all again. This is only for the outside though... inside you just want to isolate the moisture from the wood. So anything that gives a good coverage is good enough.

well finished my stock put it on the rifle and there is more stock exposed on one side than the other but it is free floated all the way back to the reciever, so my question is this ok or do i have to make it even
