Ok, this is a new thread that is piggy backing off my other thread asking about aftermarket stock options/recommendations for my Savage 110 Lightweight Storm .308
Thread 'Savage 110 Lightweight Storm stock ?’s'
https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/savage-110-lightweight-storm-stock-s.408666/
Goal: I want to turn this rifle into a ‘budget’ 6mm Creedmoor, using an aftermarket prefit barrel and an upgraded stock. This will be a rifle I will run suppressed ( I ordered an Airlock ZG 6.5 on their Black Friday sale) and I plan to top it with an SWFA SS 3-9 HD ( also ordered on Black Friday). It will be used for some western deer hunts in the next few years.
1. Prefit 6mm Creedmoor: A Google search reveals several options for this, so it’s just a matter of finding one I want. When it comes to changing the barrel, my gunsmith can do it relatively cheaply for me.
2. Aftermarket stock: This is were I’m running into issues/questions. The 110 Lightweight Storm uses the Axis mags and has the bottom bolt release button. The ‘magwell/bottom metal’ is molded into the stock. From what I’m finding out, is that any aftermarket stock will require me to get some additional or different ‘Bottom Metal’. I found the EABCO ‘bottom metal’

Would that work on an aftermarket stock such as the Stockys Next Gen Carbon Fiber Hunter or VG2 ? (And allow me to use my Axis mags?)
Is there any other ‘bottom metal’ I could/should be looking at that would work with aftermarket stocks? ( I’m ok with have to switch to different mags if that’s the case as well..)

Then i would like to replace the trigger guard with a metal one. Does anyone have any links to a metal trigger guard?
Is there anything else I need to consider or other gotchas I might run into with this project?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!!
