I sold my savage the other day to fund a CZ 455. When looking for a threaded bolt .22 the CZ was my preference but couldn't pass up the price in the Savage. I wasn't considering the synthetic "suppressor ready" model but figured it would suit my needs better than a pretty wood stock. I'm glad I did! That is a very nice stock, especially compared to the savage. The threads length is too long but other than that, it's a winner. Now to find a threaded 22 mag barrel!
