Thread: Savage 110 E

Hi, how knackered is the stock (photo?).

If getting it back to a nice oil finish is going to be impossible, and finding a replacement is proving hard(?) then one idea could be to use a fibreglass filler material like Nutech to fix and secure any breakages/heavy dings etc, sand it all back and paint it with a textured finish like DY-Mark or similar.

You'd be amazed what sins can be hidden with ''bog & paint'', just ask a panel beater

DY-mark is just a sandy textured spray on paint. It's just something I've seen used in the past to give a bit of texture under the top coat (anti-slip). You could use anything you wanted to really?

Most paint finishes will wear eventually no matter if its Millspec or Duracoat. I've had great success with my Tikka M595 stock which was painted in 2Pac paint when I purchased it 8 years ago. The paint still looks new apart from a small wear point where my hand carries it just forward of the magazine.

On my Remington its just matt black paint from Repco. It can scratch up a little when abused pushing through thick Manuka/Gorse and the like, but they're still making matt black paint...And really it still looks great after a years work.

Or you could have a little fun like I did when I tried airbrushing for the first time.



Just playing with an old BSA single shot, but I learnt some new skills


Just go with what ever suits your needs, paint is cheap and you can always touch it up again later if need be.

Cheers .
sounds like a plan to start with.
Thanks will post a picture when im done.

I would forget about the existing stock, the cheapest and easiest replacement would be a Boyds. These finish really well and are easy enough to get into NZ (just keep the order under $100.00). BOYDS The World's Foremost Supplier of Hardwood Gunstocks.. You probably want the classic stock (although you could go thumb hole etc).

Thanks will look into that.
Cheers

Does the total all up need to be under $100 includind postage.

Total excluding freight. Just the price of the stock.

I have the same in 308 with a wooden stock. They'll have to bury me with it.

Thanks.
Know how you feel. I'm being buried in my Stoney Creek blaze swanny.
Nice lookin rifle
