Gents, anyone know a distributor which could convince Savage to do this?

OK, haven't had a Savage in a few years, but met a guy with a Lightweight hunter in .260 Rem, which made me decide I want to do this if possible:

I want the Lightweight Hunter barrel & action in .260 rem, but put inside the "Lady Hunter" stock. Not going to pay for two stocks, but is there any way that a particular distributor might have enough clout to convince Savage to do this for me, and just charge me the price of the higher one of the two (which is the lightweight hunter price)?

You'd still have a 5.75 lb bare rifle, and a really nice looking stock (the Lady Hunter one). Pretty killer rig for sub-$800 new, and surely will be a shooter.

I sincerely wish you luck !!!

I see that the Hunter is listed as the long action and the Lady as short. Don't know what problems this might create on your request. One thing that I'm not sure of, is if they have a custom shop. Recently tried a similar change and even though they were great folks for work with, they could not accommodate my request. I went a different route with Boyd and finally got what I wanted.
Yes, by all means, contact Savage and again I say that they are great folks to work with. .... :)

Please let us know how you made out !!!

Good luck and;
Be Safe !!!
 
Talk to Talo.
If they think they can sell 500 of them, and Savage is willing to do it.... You'll get your rifle.
(Generally, their 'custom' orders have minimums of 250 or 500. I'd lean more toward at least 500, if Savage doesn't already have a long action Lady Hunter stock.)
 
You might be able to find a takeoff stock on ebay or something, swap the stock, then sell yours as a takeoff to recoupe your money
 
And I just got new glasses !!!

Both are offered in long and short actions.

I mis-read as both of the stocks in question, are for the short action. ... :)

Have you tried contacting Savage direct? I did and at least they tried to help me. .... ;)

Be Safe !!!
 
No but I will try them direct, now that y'all mention it as a possibility - I thought for sure they'd just laugh and say - whatever the distributor's got - is what they got; buh-bye.
