I hope someday I'll be able to shoot like the old man, but he's got years of experience on me!

BAOM, I'm going to give your pressure pad a try the next time I head out to the range with my savage....I'll post before after and work in progrees targets too...... I'll even shoot at 25yards (my groups will not be as tight as yours )

Both, but I may need an alignment and new shoes.

After all the screwing around with pressure pads in all kinds of places, the stock setup seems to work the best, Savage uses Federal Gold Medal for their accuracy testing if that is any help to you.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

Hi Bear,
It may sound silly at first, but have you tried a small bead of silicone cement (gasket type stuff, I use the blue color, but clear is OK too, and not so noticible). Put a small bead in the front tip of the fore end, and put the stock back on while it's wet, wipe off the squeeze out, and let it set overnight. You may want to use a release agent on the contact surfaces just in case you don't like the results. Not sure why it works, but it may have some effect on changing the harmonics of the barrel vibrations??

Never thoought of that, it would be the same as using a foam pad or a piece of inner tube, it damps the oscillations of the barrel.

In addition, it won't fall out, but is actually pretty easy to remove if you want.
Also, put in place wet, the squeezed and dried, there is no pressure applied, just the vibration dampening.
Just my brain off-gassing a little. I have used it on a Remington 581 that I resurrected from the dusty corners of a gun shop. It was abused, but came out fine in the end, and really shoots well. Like a 3/4 inch group of 15 shots at 25 yards off sandbags, with an inexpensive Bushnell 4x fixed scope. I was happy.
I used the same silicone treatment on a several other guns too. If it didn't make noticable improvements on a couple, it at least didn't make it worse.
It really helped an old Savage Mod. 15 single shot .22 I've had for years.
