Where can you buy a better feeling stock for a Savage
 

I had my mind made up, I was going to buy a Savage in a 243. I know from reading here that the Savage stocks won’t win no beauty awards. To me that’s no big deal. I’m not looking for a pretty gun, just one that shoots well. BUT!!

They don’t feel good in my hands either and that is important to me. Can you buy a better feeling stock for them? I’m looking for a synthetic stock. I do like the feel of those Choate stocks but its way too heavy to carry as a hiking gun.

That's a very good point. I did like the feel of a CZ that had a Kevlar stock but I don't think it's made in a 243. It was around 800 bucks or somewhere in that area.

If you had 600 for the gun, wanted a 243, and prefered the synthetic stock, what would you lean towards?

Buy a Stevens and put on a stock from here: http://www.sharpshootersupply.com/

I would stick with the Savage because you will get the Accu-Trigger. The Stevens is the same gun without the Accu-Trigger, so if you are on a budget, you might look into them. Later on adding a trigger from the above mentioned site will get you a trigger that works very well!!

Remington SPS
Tikka T3
Browning A-Bolt Stalker
Ruger M77 Hawkeye

The Remington is probably your best choice as far as aftermarket accessories.

You're right, no CZ in .243 with a synthetic stock. They make the 550 American with a wood stock though. :D

I'm with Rammer and his choices, you couldn't go wrong with any of those.;)

Good list.My preference is the 700 action but since you said weight is an issue then the T3 lite at a shade over 6lbs might just be your rifle.

FWIW this is how I'd list them based on the stock alone
(haven't touched a Hawkeye so can't comment)
T3, SPS and Browning.

Well I did the same thing bought a savage and didnt like the feel so I started looking for a stock ,and because I like laminated wood stocks I found one at Midway arms and it is just perfect for me here is a pic of it.
