Will it Fit?
You must rely on your own observations. What the guy said when you bought it, or even what your neighbor said may or may not be accurate. The rifle you bought at the gun show could have been altered, or that may not be the original box (as one unfortunate fellow we know just discovered.) Even in this age of automation most of our products continue to be created by craftsmen, not machines. Also many firearms, even production models, have been subject to significant variations over the years. Some that are sold will need some minor adjustments to get a perfect fit. There simply is no substiture for following our simple instructions especially when it concerns something as important as your firearm!
Other than the manufacturer, exact chambering and model, you need to know 3 things more before you get started:
- Is it a long or short action?
If you have a .223, .243, 6mm, .257, .308 or similar length cartridge you most likely have a short action. Conversely, the .25-06, .270, .280, .30-06, 7mm Mag, .300 Mag, .300 RUM, 8mm Mag, .338 Mag, .375 H&H or similar you have a Long Action rifle. See the Tech Support section of this store for an illustrated discussion.
- How do you unload your magazine?
If you cannot remember, be sure it's unloaded, turn your gun over and look. Is there a Detatchable Box Magazine, Hinged Floorplate or is it 'Blind' (wood underside)? Photos are on the Tech Support page.
- What kind of barrel does it have?
Is it a Featherweight? Standard Sporter? Magnum? Sendaro? Varmint? Police? Bull Barrel? Most stocks are made for standard sporters, but there are many available for the heavier tubes as well. Don't fret, though - if your favorite stock only comes in the FBC or factory barrel channel, it will likely be a simple matter to make the adjustment yourself. See Tech Support for pics and instructions.
