Hello all,
I have a Savage 720 trainer that has a cracked stock and fore end. To make a long story short, I plan on using this gun to go pheasant hunting later this fall and winter. I know, some of you cringe, I just hate using my guns for paper weights and I love the nostalgia of these great old guns in particular. Luckily I'm not dumb enough to go sanding on the original matching stock, but I want a replacement stock that I can at least make functional and pretty it up a bit. I've seen the usual suspects out there but I want a set that I can refinish myself. The catch is that I don't want to spend $200 on a set of furniture. I don't mind if it's ugly, I just don't want to pay a premium for someone else to do the work when I can do it myself. So I was wondering if anyone knows if the stock from a Model 11 will fit on a Savage 720 since their parts are more plentiful. I know an A-5 stock will NOT fit on a 720. Not even close. The fore end will though. But I'm not sure about the Model 11. Anybody know the DEFINITIVE answer to this? I've read a lot of "hear-say chatter" but I don't want to find out the hard way that someone was wrong.
