Single shot sleds, how to hold them in place without epoxy?

[Lefty Trigger]

I have a Savage target action that is open bottom for a blind mag in the factory laminated stock. I want to use a single shot sled for this rifle so what is the best way to keep the sled tight against the bottom of the action? I do not want to epoxy it. I thought about using a flat mag spring or some kind of filler for the mag well that would hold the sled.

That does help,
I have a Fred Sled from SSS that clicks into place and doesn’t move.

Hot melt glue gun ? It works and if you lube the receiver its a easy in and easy out anytime you need it .

A piece of foam rubber in place of the mag.

Three or four dots of Caulk. Easy to peel and no mess behind.

You know, SSS is about an hour from me and they are the hardest people to get ahold of to buy stuff from. I want to go there give money and leave with stuff.

Bob Sleds come in different action sizes, bought my last one from Creedmoor Sports. They click in and you drop them with the mag release. I think 700 SA and 700 LA won’t be hard to find. I also have one in 338 LM gonna be harder to find one of those.

I use the foam rubber in both of mine, one is a 110 savage w/ .264 win mag, the other is kelby kodiac in 6 dasher. Works just fine for both.

Just use a couple small drops of epoxy. I mean, its steel, not like the epoxy is going damage the action or anything, you don't need much at all. Get a tight fit by wedging a piece of solid copper wire in there, too.

Use the follower that came with the rifle. It will hold the single shot follower up against the reciever.
