Team Gun: rifle stock advice

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.

McMillian A-5 it's somewhat heavy but I put one on my bench gun I like it a lot.

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.)

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.

Chatrabbit,
Im open to anything.
What ideas have you got?

Thanks for the feedback.
I will do some more homework

I do know a gunsmith. I will ask if he would work on an untouched stock.

Stockade Stocks might be my answer.

I forgot to mention that I am Left Handed. That complicates things.

Stockade specializes in savage actions (short or long) and makes most models in lefty!

They are good stocks from all reports, but they do tend to be on the heavier side.

You really need to find a place that you can get your hands on them. The palm swells and what not are all a little different and the texture of the stocks is different. McMillans are awesome but I didn't like the palm swell for my hands. The BCs were better fit for me but the texture felt cheap (at least to me). The Manners was perfect for me but twice as expensive as the HS. The texture on the HS (while still not perfect in my opinion, I really liked the smoother / less gritty feel of the Manners and McMillans) was better than the BC and the palm felt great, so I went with the HS stock.
