Has anyone figured out a good way to put a rear pillar in these piece of junk Savage composite stocks they used in the early 90's? The rear action bolt always pulls through the stock or at very best moves in the stock resulting in terrible accuracy. I have fixed a couple and need to fix another one, but there has to be a better way than the way I am doing it. The only way I have been able to get to work is to remove all the material in that area and epoxy an aluminum block in place, then drill it and inlet it. About a 4 hour job. Is there an easier way that works acceptably well?
