Savage .308 Modifications

[LRShooting]

I have been looking into getting a different stock for my savage M11. Its the trophy hunter XP, so its cheap. My main thing is I want to replace the stock. I can shoot sub moa, but I have to be careful because the stock is flimsy and will end up touching the barrel. POA will change if that occurs. The stock comes free floated, but its very very lightly built. I also will probably upgrade to a heavier barrel from pac-nor sometime. What do you all think I should go with on the stock? Id really like to keep it under 200, but still have a solid stock, even if its kinda heavy. Also, the M11 TH XPs do not have a bedding block, just a recoil lug. Does that restrict me from any full bed style stocks. I don't know much about them, so help me out here if you can. Thanks!

Definitely Boyds. Get some coarse sandpaper and some dowels and slats to use for any minor inletting that might be required, and glass bed the action.
