Savage Stocks - Which?

[enichols]

Hello All-
I was looking at two stocks to potentially replace the B&C Duramaxx on my Savage 10FP. The first is the Sharp Shooter Supply Laminate Varmint Tactical. With the adjustable cheek piece and butt hook, the total cost for the stock would be $374. The second is the Stockade Prairie Dog Special/Tactical, which if I purchased finished/painted would be $433 with the adjustable cheek piece. I am sort of torn between the two... I like the look of the SSS stock, and it's certainly a little cheaper, but I really like the full-length aluminum skeleton in the Stockade stock. Also, since the Savage rifle is pillar bedded, would it make much sense to glass bed the action into the stock as well, or would it be unnecessary?
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
Best,
Nic

Check out the Bell & Carlson Medalist,it also has aluminum bedding block,and for less money.

I am really happy with my B&C Medalists. A laminated stock really has no need for an aluminum bedding block. Have you thought about the unfinished Stockade? You can sand it and paint it yourself.

I thought about both those options... I really want a stock with an adjustable cheekpiece, which I am sure the B&C Medalist does not have. I will call and see if Stockade offers their stock unfinished but with the adjustable cheekpiece.
Thanks,
Nic

I've got an LVT on my 12FV, they are also pillar bedded so you don't "need" to glass bed them, but I don't suppose it would hurt. On either of the laminated stocks you really don't gain anything with the full length bedding block in my opinion.
