I removed the thimble and ramrod.
Anyone else do this? I actually did this when I bought my savage 10 ML ,cause I really hated the factory syn. stock, so I bought a 95$ B&C duramax stock ,made for varmint model savages. It fit great but no hole for the ramrod, so I just packed it separate, while hunting. I eventually sold that and bought a factory laminate stock, and put the thimble and ramrod back on.
Now that the season is over, I took them off again, just to se how it would look again , along w/ the completely useless sights, and looks pretty cool a,nd seems to noticably cut down on weight . Im sure itll improve accuracy too, since there will be less interference w/ barrel harmonics.
Thoughts?

RE: I removed the thimble and ramrod.
Gleason, thanks for the reply. When I had the Duramax, I just rubber banded the rod to the side of the stock. next year Im gonna get one of those telescopic rods ROSSI sells, and keep it in my pocket.
Believe it or not the duramax was about as heavy as the laminate, its a chunky kevelar stock, not injection molded.
I really like the way this thing looks now, sorta like a big bore centerfire that I can use in ML sason.
All it really needs to be perfect is a trip to Black Ice coating (teflon).

RE: I removed the thimble and ramrod.
Thanks for the link, thats pretty cool! I dont think Id do that too my laminate stock and zeiss scope though.
Right now its, laminate/stainless, w/ a matte black scope and ss rings and mounts. I think it would be perfect all black and laminate. That why I want to teflon coat it, along w/ making it virtually maintenance free and indestructible.

RE: I removed the thimble and ramrod.
I think thats for break open guns, I think my savage, which is basically a bolt action, will be 145$ + 20$ for the rings and mounts.
Read the testimonials, the guy actually takes the entire gun apart and coats everything , I wish I had the extra clams to send all my gun there.
The savage has become my workhorse deer slayer, and I think it deserves to go 1st though.
