Savage 220 -- Looking for Recommendation of a Good Smith

Vandy · Sep 12, 2018

I know we have several gunsmith's that are industry partners. I recently picked up a Savage 220 and put it in a Boyd's thumbhole stock. I am looking to have some final inletting/fitting done as the magazine does not lock into place. I understand this is fairly common with the Boyd's stock and Savage mags. While I am at it, I would like to have the stock pillar bedded.

Has anyone taken a 220 to have work done that they would recommend? I would love to get it back in time for the deer firearms season, but I realize that may be a tall order for a good (busy) gunsmith.

Thanks for any suggestions you have!

I do not own a 220 and cannot speak to whether he has done any but Eddie "Doc" Harren is the best gunsmith I have worked with personally. I mainly have experience with his metalwork but I can vouch for the quality of bedding work he has done on rifles for friends of mine. He is best known for his benchrest and varmint rifles but several others have told me he has a talent for making sporters that bughole too. The business is Harren's Custom Rifles, 301-831-8068, located in Ijamsville.
