Savage owners have very limited options when it comes to adding a detachable box magazine to their stocks. PTG has stepped in to fill the void. As far as I can see they are the only product that accommodates the newer Savage designs where the bolt release is in the trigger guard. When PTG came out with their new design for Savage, I jumped on board and received one of the first deliveries back in August.
My previous posts in this series show the work I have done to customize a Boyd’s Tacticool stock for my Savage Model 11 chambered in .260. I described the jig I built to secure a stock while it is being machined. I also developed a technique for generating patterns out of plywood to use with a Bosch Colt router equipped with an array of template bushings. I generated four different patterns to create the cavity that would accept the PTG bottom metal.

Here is a picture of the stock jig ready for serious work!
