Installing it on a Savage Axis SR .308, do you clamp the barrel or the stock on a vise?

Unfortunately my tools and drill were stolen to thread my barrel so i haven't had the chance to install. However, i would wrap and clamp/vise the barrel as not to twist the stock. It should be near impossible to do structural damage to the barrel by clamping/vise. However, if you twist the stock it may cause vibrations affecting long range accuracy.

No u hand tighten make sure the barrel is flat on to insert screwed driver threw barrel holes and tight the rest

Oh you're most definitely going to clamp the barrel. This should most definitely be done by a gunsmith. If this is not threaded perfectly the bullet could catch the edge and completely destroy the entire barrel.

You have to clamp the barrel, I belive the stock is to flimsy. I wrapped the barrel with cardboard and tightened down with a screwdriver, It looks really nice on a SR, you won't be disappointed.

If you have a flash hider on that rifle, it should be easy. I was able to take off the stock hider and install the brake with just a padded set of vise-grips.

I had my local gun Smith install in on to my mosin 91/30 he cut the barrel down and tapped threads, I am guessing he used a lathe to make sure it was true.

You should have a swivel stud on the stock. If you turn the stock (or whole rifle) upside down, and set the bipod on it, you'll see how it clamps on.

i dont understand why you would need a heavy duty vise to work on a 308 rifle..but.. for pressing roll pins or sleeves.. this vise will work great. as long as your work doesnt need more than 2 1/2 inches or so. the vise opens 3 inches max . very small , light duty vise.. only weighs a few pounds.

Hi ... I don't think it stresses what I have it on . If I were using on say a lever I'd try to go around the tube .. I'm using the 2 I bought on model 24 Savage .... 222/20ga. & 22RF/410 they work ok but you've got to adjust them "just right" to keep them from moving around ...hope this gives ya some help ? .....

Yes, it screws into the stock. You may have to drill pilot holes for the screws depending on you stock configuration.

I ended up having to tape the individual pads together in order to get it together properly. I tried taping the pads to the stock and not taping them. Not taping them worked better after I figured out the right way to "roll" the sleeve on. Once it was in place the pads did not move. They seemed to "cup" a little bit around the top of the stock. I have installed two so far on a CZ 452 and a henry lever action. Both of them have narrow combs so I was worried but they are working fine. It is a bear to install however so drink some patience juice before you start.

I installed the AccuStrut on a Mini 14 Ranch Rifle that I had customized with a tactical stock, a custom 3.5 pound trigger, scope, and sling. Considering the mod's I made to the rifle I am not sure if the barrel is more stable due to the strut, but it does add to the "cool" factor. I think that the faster your trigger finger and higher number of rounds through the barrel makes it more susceptible to movement so I am keeping the strut. For the enthusiast that shoots a magazine and puts the rifle away it would not be necessary.

If you run stock shackles you should be close. I ended up getting a longer rear shaft to be on the safe side.

It depends on the kind of stock you have. Some people have complained about the screws being too short. I wouldn't know. I plan on using mine for a custom wooden sniper stock for my Savage 110 .300 WinMag and don't plan on using the stock screws anyway. Why not just buy a Quad Rail handguard?

Hmm good q. I used 1" weaver on my savage .17 but with regular barrel. I have roughly a 1/4" of space beneath the scope.

If you remove the cleaning rod it can clamp just flush with the stock. I have this and the Mosin-Nagant

When I sill had the wood stock on my 10/22, I used one of these and it fit perfectly. I used it for a light and sling with no issues.

I would agree that one screw is barely enough to secure the pistol grip to the stock. And I'm sure you could attach the pistol grip to the trigger guard but I would definitely advise against it as it would make for a difficult disassembly of your MN.

It fit my Savage .308 accutrigger perfectly. Based on the pics I have seen, the Axis barrel looks the same as the Accutrigger .308.

I just bolted mine up two days ago to a 742 and used the original forearm screw. I had to put a washer/spacer on mine to keep the sling bracket from touching the forearm. Required zero alteration except using the spacer. Very happy with fit and finish. I work on guns every day and have no complaints with this product for the 742.

Well Peter, it all depends on if your stock is wood or synthetic. I have a synthetic stock on mine which had an eye in the butt-stock, so I just used he quick-detach part for that. As for the short stud, it screws into the screw-in end on the end of your magazine tube. But that is if that end has been drilled and threaded. Mine was ready for the stud.

again, you'd need a sling stud. I dry fitted it on my Mosin (no stud) and it doesn't match the contour of the stock. looks kind of awkward. also, I use it on an AR, so BIG difference in recoil between a 5.56x45 with a buffer tube, and a bolt action 7.62x54. I'd look for something different. (FYI- works great on the AR-15)
