[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 133215, member: 12"] A lot depends on how much money you want to spend. Option 1- new stock barrel etc. could easily run $800 and see no need to do that based on what you described. Option 2- (My Choice) Used Savage wood stock that you can drop in and bed yourself if it is not pillared. Buy straight from Savage also. Wrap 2" masking tape on the butt, drill two 1/4" holes above or below the butt/recoil pad screws and about 3 inches deep. Use a band saw to cut off the amount you want. Later you simply glue the piece back with 1/4" dowels and perfect match. The 243 is good round and no need to spend the money on something else when your issue is the stock. BH [/QUOTE]
