[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 957036, member: 25383"] the Remington stock sucks on a good day, and I use one. I have not used that particular Savage stock so I can't say anything about it faults or good parts. But if it's shaped like a regular rifle stock in the forend, it won't ride the bags well. The Savage varmint stock does better than 90% of the factory stocks, and it also has it's problems. I'd simply go with an aftermarket stock. Have yet to ever see a bipod that was worth two dollars, and all have their on set of multi issues. I'd go with a good flat bottomed forend stock that was as parallel to the centerline of the bore as possible. Forget the monte carlo crap, and opt for a good strait stock to fit whatever action you choose. Yet for off hand shooting, I like the Remington stock shape the best. Just feels good off hand, but not much else. The Remington bedding system sucks on a perfect day, and I'm not all that impressed with the Savage pillar setup as well. It's easier to make the Savage right than the Remington in my book, and I've done both. Both rifles can be made to shoot well, but it's a lot more work with the Remington than the Savage, plus a lot more dollars. Tobe exact, I'd go with a Howa 100% of the time before even considering the Remington asn it's a better gun outta the box. gary [/QUOTE]
