Bypassing the Plastic Trigger Guard on the Boyds Axis Stock (DIY 1000 Yard Axis)

Boyds laminate stocks for the Savage Axis include a plastic trigger loop. I recommend that you buy their optional steel trigger guard, but if you want to use this plastic piece, you'll need to bypass it.

If you want a nice, permanent solution, buy one of the steel trigger guards available through Midway, Brownell's, or other retailers. Otherwise, just drill out the front screw hole and get a true steel-on-steel connection. Bear in mind that I did a pillar bedding job on this rifle.
