Savage hollow stock

Just discovered that my Savage Model 10 predator .223 has a hollow stock. Anyone ever think of using it to store survival gear? waterproof matches, fishing line,hooks, even a few zip lock plastic bags. Add a paracord sling and your rifle can be an awesome survival tool.

most injection molded plaztik stocks are hollow both at the buttstock and the fore-end. I filled mine with greatstuff foam and a little lead shot, just enough to balance the rifle and give it a more solid feel.

Remington SPS stocks are the same way.

The latest caliber or gear is no substitute for experience and skill. Rifles and cartridges don't make hits -- shooters do. Fact of life: After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF!
