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:

Way cool. The Tactical stock on the bottom is the one I put on my Stevens .308. Center feed. It made it more accurate. Tough as a tank, with built in bi-pod slot. I'm in wait for an SSS 9 round DBM to do the same with mine. If it gives me problems, I'll give Jeff a call. Nice set up.

Good luck, Deersniper. I regret to say that Sharp Shooter Supply lost any possibility of business with me--because I sent multiple e-mails and made numerous phone calls and got absolutely none in return.

Too bad. I was also going to contact them concerning a re-barrel and truing on the rifle--now, I'll probably be contacting Kreiger, Bartlein or Mike Rock when I get ready for the work.

I went over to Savage Shooters forum and They are a family business, real busy, and Lisa, the office, has been sick, but she's back. They do fine work. Get on the forum and PM them [fastest way] or just send them an order.
