Team Gun: rifle stock advice
Posted on 2/9/17 at 4:46 pm

So, I decided to do a custom rifle build. Savage long action in .300 win mag.
Ive been collecting the parts I need over the last few months.
I decided on a Manners MCS-GAT light weight stock.
Well, I didnt know,Manners quit making stocks for savage long actions. Damn!
I have everything I need but the stock. Bartlien Barrel, custom recoil lug, Accuracy Mag bottom metal, the works!
This will be my hunting rifle out West in the mountains, so trying to keep it under 9 or 10 lbs.
Team Gun Investigators....what stock do I get now?
Signed,
Depressed War Tiger

I have a HS Percision stick and I love it. The Bell and Carson stocks tend to be a little heavier than the HS stocks.
That's all I got.

McMillan elite hunter

McMillan makes good stuff. I do like Chassis systems so if you are willing to look into using a Chassis, I could give you other options.

McMillan is at least the starting point. If I built a custom gun, 90% chance it would be on a McMillan stock (and probably, like you, be a Savage action.)

You called them and asked? I understand if they didn't stock it, but to quit all together.
I don't know your budget, but you could see if they would sell you a gat that wasn't inletted yet and send it to a gunsmith to inlet.
Other options:
McMillan
Grayboe(owned by mcmillan, cheaper)
HS precision
B&C
Stockys
And then the million different chassis available

I bought my first (and only) aftermarket synthetic stock nearly 30 years ago from Brown Precision. I've got a number of synthetic XP-100 stocks, as well, 3 from HS Precision and 2 from McMillan. I've been satisfied w/ all of the aforementioned stocks. The only stock manufacturer who disappointed me was MPI. OTOH, at least they did issue me a full refund. Be sure and check the wait time as it may be quite long.
