Savage stock opinions

[chet]

I am going to order a laminated wood benchrest stock with a 3' forend for a Savage long action, and a longer forend to accommodate a 30' x 1 1/4' straight barrel with out the savage nut, I have a few in mind, one is the Tracker st 1000, any comments or a better choice. there doesn't seem to be much of a choice in wood.

You may want to consider some of Fred stocks at Sharp Shooter Supply. Sharp Shooter Supply
I have the LVT and I really like it but it is only a 2 1/2' forearm. I have looked at the Thumbhole BR and the LRBR. I like both of those is weight is not an issue. Fred's stocks usually need minimal fitting before bedding. Luck, tiny

not wood but you might also consider stockade's long range BR stock, they start at $240

I called SSS and the wait is 8 weeks not too bad, Stockade, I have his LRBR nice stock in a SA, I need a LA so I did call them too Stockade is 12-14 weeks.

I have a SSS HBR stock. Not the LRBR, the HBR is heavier toward the butt of the stock, which is what you need. It is thicker around the action and also the whole buttstock is thicker.

One thing about it, you wont be disappointed with Freds work. Do yourself a favor and finish it using automotive clear. You will not be sorry. I still have to wet sand and buff mine.
