OK,I can't take it anymore! I'm going to break down & get a 7mm-08, and I've been looking at the Savages for so long that I'm fairly determined to go in that direction.

My question, however, is which model to go with. I amawfully enamored of slim stocks with tight grips and skinny fore ends (Like my 700 CDL, or a 700 Mountain Rifle), and I'm not sure which Savage model would best fit that description: 10, 11, 14, 16? I've held a 14 American Classic, & that stock felt far thicker than I'd like. Is the 14 Classic any slimmer?

I guess the other option would be to buy the cheapest one, dump the stock, & get a McMillan, Boyds, etc., etc.Can anyone make a recommendation on an aftermarket stock with a good performance/price ratio?

Ideas? Suggestions? Sympathy? Pity? Disdain? Disgust? Lemme Know!

Many Thanks,
