I am picking up a Savage Model 12 FV in .308 next week. My 1st thing to change will be the stock. What is a good aftermarket stock for the Model 12?
I read Macmillan and HS are great, but what about the Hogue Overmolded Stock with the Full Pillar Bedding? I've read that they are flexible. Is this true?
If the action is mounted directly to the aluminum block then who cares about the squishy stock? Or am I mistaken here? Does one need to bed a stock even if the receiver is the only portion of the rifle?
Or am I wrong in my logic that an aluminum bedding block will mate up directly to the bottom of the receiver and touch nothing else?
Need answers please.
How are Bell & Carson, and the Choate Ultm sniper stock? Low-end I know.
