Find a factory plastic take-off for around $30-$50. Lots of them floating around after people buy an aftermarket stock. Honestly, unless you're spending $700 for a McMillan Edge stock everything else is mostly a lateral move. Certainly not worth the $300+ you'll pay for anything else.
McMillan, Manners, Hi-Tech Specialties, and Brown Precision and possibly a couple of others are all high quality stocks, but you won't get a new one under $500-$600 and most of them need some final fitting and finish work by someone who knows what they are doing. McMillan costs a bit more, but you can usually take them out of the box and bolt them to the rifle ready to use. Some folks bed them, but I've done it both ways and the ones I didn't bed shot just as well.
The standard stocks from most of those will still weigh as much or more than your factory wood stock. The McMillan edge will be about 1/2 lb less than factory or their standard stock, but is $100-$150 more because it is made of kevlar instead of fiberglass. Brown Precision and most of the others also offer something similar, at a higher price.
B&C and HS Precision use a cheaper manufacturing method that results in a much weaker stock UNLESS they use the metal chassis molded into the stock for strength. But that results in a heavier stock and one that has to be thick and chunky. They are passable on a heavy varmint/tactical rifle. But not what I'd want on a light sporter. And I can tell zero difference between HS and B&C in quality. B&C is at least $100 less and would be my pick if I just had to have one.
The factory plastic is actually tougher and lighter than HS Precision or B&C. And if they are any less accurate I've not seen it.
This is another option that MIGHT work. I'm pretty sure the stocks on a Bergara and Rem 700 are interchangeable. You can buy a replacement Bergara stock for $150. It is still exactly the same construction method as the factory plastic stocks used by Remington and others. They just do a better job of making them aesthetically pleasing.
