I’m considering upgrading the stock on my Savage 93R17 and I’m hoping to tap into the collective wisdom of this community for some guidance.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

  • Compatible Stock Models: Are there specific models you recommend? I’m especially interested in thumb hole or laminated stocks, but I’m open to other suggestions as well.
  • Cost Considerations: What kind of budget should I expect for a decent upgrade? Are there brands that offer great value?

Great question! For durability and lightweight performance, synthetic stocks typically offer the best features. However, a wooden stock can provide a classic aesthetic.

I agree with alyssawall! Synthetic materials are great because they can handle harsh weather better than wood. Plus, there are some ergonomic designs that enhance comfort while shooting!

Exactly! Plus, they often come with adjustable features for a custom fit. Anyone tried a folding or adjustable stock?

I recently installed an adjustable stock on mine, and it made a massive difference! It helps with both length of pull and cheek height for different shooting positions.

That sounds awesome! Did you find it hard to install? I’m a bit cautious about DIY upgrades.

Not at all! It’s pretty straightforward. Just make sure to follow the instructions closely, and you’ll be fine. Plenty of online videos help too!

I’ve been eyeing some wood stocks, though. They’re beautiful and offer a great balance, but they do require maintenance. Are they worth it for aesthetics?

10

Absolutely! If you’re into the classic look, a nice wood stock can be a showstopper. Just keep it oiled and protected, and you’re good to go!

How about designs? I’ve seen some tactical stocks that look super cool! Any thoughts on that for hunting versus target shooting?

12

Tactical stocks can be great for stability and accessories, but for hunting, a lighter stock might work better for mobility. It really depends on your routine!

13

Very true! But lighter materials must still ensure good accuracy. What do you think about a hybrid stock made from both materials?

14

Hybrids could be the best of both worlds! You get the durability of synthetic plus the feel of wood. Definitely worth considering!

But I wonder, will they be as sturdy as solid synthetic or wood? Maybe there’s a trade-off!

16

Good point! I think it varies per brand and model. Always worth checking reviews before committing to a stock.

I recently upgraded my Savage 93R17 stock and found that using a simple screwdriver set and a torque wrench was essential. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s torque specifications for a secure fit!

Good info! I also recommend having some blue Loctite on hand. It helps keep screws secure during heavy use.

As for common challenges during installation, make sure you’re aware of any tight screws. Sometimes they can be a pain, especially if they haven’t been removed in a while.

Absolutely! A little penetrating oil can make those stubborn screws a lot easier to work with.
