I'm sure that folks have seen this rifle before...
Good rifle action, but I could not get comfortable with this stock. I had to really work at getting a good shot off. Plus, the internal magazine was slow to top off, and to exchange ammunition was a pain.
So, after a lot of soul searching and research, I contacted a gentleman named Jeff, the owner of CDI Precision Gunworks, out of Sarasota, Florida. I explained my situation to him.
Bottom line: I purchased a Choate Savage Short Action Tactical Stock, direct from Choate--along with a large cheekpiece. Hint: The large cheekpieces for the Ultimate Sniper and Ultimate Varmint stocks work, too. I sent it off to Jeff, and here's what he did:
He makes and installs bottom metal for this rifle. Now, I have a rifle that accepts the Accuracy International 5 and 10 round magazines. It feeds flawlessly, too! From what I understand, he also makes the bottom metal for other rifles as well.
Got an older Savage short action, with the 4.25 spacing between screws? Not to worry--that's what mine is! Jeff moved the hole a bit, and made it work perfectly.
Best part is the turnaround time...WELL under 2 weeks! No, that's not a typo, either! Jeff does quality work, and charges a fair price, too!
Take a look, and give him a call:
