How to Replace a Savage Rifle Stock

Savage rifles are available in a variety of calibers and are known for their quality and reliability. Savage rifles are popular with shooters worldwide. Savage rifles feature top-loading models and models that are equipped with hinged magazine floor plates that accept a detachable magazine. The procedure for removing the stock is nearly identical for both kinds of rifles. The only tool necessary is a 5/32-inch Allen wrench. Before removing the stock of your Savage rifle, open the action and verify that the rifle is unloaded.
