Yeah those stocks on the Trophy hunter XP are pretty flimsy to say it nicely. To say it accurately they are junk. But those accustocks are pretty solid. I've read several reviews on them as well as shouldered a few at the range myself. They feel solid and I felt no need to do anything with them as far as bedding and such. I handled a couple of the Trophy hunter models and was far from impressed. I imagine they would be "okay" probably as Savage usually doesn't let total crap out of their factory but they weren't my "cup O tea" in the least.
