In this post, let’s use the Kleinendorst tool to install a swivel on a factory stock. For a wood stock, you’d obviously want a wood thread, like those shown above. Sling swivel (or QD or dome) studs typically come in various lengths with either wood screw threads (above) or machine screw threads (typically 10-32). I ordered mine from Brownells, and while this fixture is a bit “spendy”, within a few installations it will pay for itself, and hopefully you’ll never have to replace a stock. The KLEINENDORST sling swivel fixture is a fairly simple tool that is very well made (above). For many shops, including mine, this is a KLEINENDORST sling swivel fixture. For the gun store or gunsmith, something that can speed up production time and help guarantee great results is always welcome. I installed hundreds of studs with that fixture and the vast majority were straight.įor the occasional user, a simple fixture, or padded vise in a drill press make sense. You’d rubber band it to the stock (and believe me, I’m not saying that this was best practice), start up your drill and make a hole. On the edge where the two faces met, there was a small guide. The one I used to use was a piece of 1×1 aluminum angle iron with some leather glued on the inside. For those of us less focused, a fixture can help. If you are a wood worker, engineer, or really OCD, this is a job that can be accomplished with a pencil and a drill. Depending on how that goes, a simple 10 minute stud installation can turn into an expensive mistake, requiring the replacement of the customer’s stock. While installing a sling swivel stud isn’t exactly rocket science and certainly doesn’t require the fixture we are going to use in this post, it is entirely possible to screw up the job. What may be a cost saving measure for the manufacturer, is a nuisance for the gun’s owner and a potential money maker for the gunsmith/gun shop. For some reason many gun makers didn’t (and still don’t) install them at the factory. Back in the late 90s I worked at the local gun shop, one of the most common “gunsmithing” jobs we’d get (after scope mounting) was the installation of sling swivel studs into wood stocks. I’ve been in the gun business a long time.

Personally, I think this would make for a great hunting rifle considering the calibers it’s offered in and it would also probably make a great Precision Rifle Series starter rifle that fits underneath the price cap for the production class. What are your thoughts on this new rifle? Is this one worth picking up for hunting or precision rifle shooting? Let us know what you think down in the comments. The Savage 110 Carbon Tactical will be offered in both black and gray color schemes and will also be offered in popular hunting calibers like 308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 6.5 PRC.
The rifle’s AccuStock also includes two sling swivel stud attachment points meaning you can field both a sling and bipod without modifying the stock or rifle.
The new rifle is also extremely lightweight considering its 22-inch barrel length and weighs less than 8 lb. The AccuFit stock also aids in making the rifle more shoot-able by offering you multiple adjustments to both the comb height as well as the length of pull. The new Savage 110 Carbon Tactical features a Proof Research Barrel with the rigid AccuStock which secures the action in three dimensions along its entire length. These new rifles combine the weight savings and precision of PROOF Research barrels with the proven Savage 110 action to make a rifle that sits on the bleeding edge of bolt-action rifle technology. Savage has just announced the introduction of their new Savage 110 Carbon Tactical Bolt-Action rifle featuring high-quality PROOF Research barrels. If you’ve grown weary of your heavy and old bolt action hunting rifle, perhaps it’s time to turn over a new leaf for 2022 and grab a truly modern bolt action.
