This is the best option to use a repeater action in a 4.4” bolt spacing single shot stock.
With these all you have to do is to round the bottom side edges to match the same contour as the action and it will fit without any modification to the stock. It doesn’t need much and takes about 10 minutes to do.
Fred sled! He doesn't make the metal ones anymore but the polymer version works great and is slick as can be. Installed Fred's polymer sled in my cast shooting buddy's rifle since his peripheral neuropathy is so bad he cannot manipulate a cartridge in the center feed mag lips anymore.
Imdamnedifido - are you shooting CBA matches? If yes, there is no restriction for using a sled in production class, benchrest restrictions for production class as stated in para 5.2, no mention of magazines...
"The barrel may be shortened only from the muzzle end to facilitate re-crowning. The barrel's exterior may
not be altered from factory specifications. The barrel must be chambered for its original cartridge and the chamber, including the neck, must conform to SAAMI specifications for the cartridge used. Non-SAAMI specification throating is allowed ahead of the chamber neck. Factory stock, action, trigger, and barrel, appropriate to the model, must be used. Factory stock contour may not be altered. Factory parts may be exchanged; however, a rifle reconfigured must duplicate a factory produced model.
Except for the stock, action, trigger, and barrel, substitution of custom parts is allowed. Alterations not expressly prohibited by these rules are allowed. Within the confines of these rules, Match Directors have full authority for determining eligibility of rifles used in Production Class with the sole exception of a rifle used to set a new national record, when the Board of Directors may overrule the decision of a Match Director."
If in doubt, ask your match director.
