I just did a stock change and found it helpful to have a friend assist me. It makes lining everything up so much easier!
Teamwork makes a difference! Just be careful not to drop anything—my friend has a talent for that.

Don’t forget to clean the action before reinstalling. It’s a great time to ensure everything is in good working order!
Very true! I like to do a full breakdown of the rifle whenever I change anything to ensure it’s all in top shape.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about various aftermarket stocks. Does anyone have suggestions for brands that work well with the 93R17?

Depending on your budget, I recommend the Boyds At-One. It fits nicely and offers some great customization features.
For those of you who have installed a new stock, did you face any surprises? I always seem to encounter something unexpected.
Surprises, for sure! My last install had a screw stripped, leading to an impromptu trip to the hardware store. Always something!
Installing a stock can be tricky. Just be patient and follow the instructions. It might feel like a puzzle at times!
Haha, it’s a fun puzzle though! I sometimes feel like I’m playing Tetris with my tools and parts.
If you’re looking for stock upgrades for the Savage 93R17, consider the Boyd’s At-One stock. Users report improved accuracy and a more solid feel. It’s adjustable too!
I love the Boyd’s At-One! The adjustable comb makes a huge difference in how the rifle fits me, which really helps with my shooting stance.
Don’t overlook the Hogue stock as an option. It offers great recoil absorption, which can change your shooting experience significantly. It’s a bit heavier, but many users say it’s worth it!
True! I had concerns about how the extra weight might affect my carry but the recoil management is fantastic.
What about custom stocks? I’ve seen some pretty cool designs that not only improve performance but look great too. Anyone tried one?
I think custom stocks can be great for personalizing your rifle! Just make sure it meets your needs for comfort and stability.
For a neutral opinion, the factory stock isn’t bad. It has decent performance but lacks adjustability. If you primarily target shoot, consider an upgrade though.

That’s a fair point! The factory stock works but doesn’t enhance the accuracy as much as upgraded options do.
Has anyone experienced a huge difference in accuracy with a different stock? I’m on the fence about upgrading mine.

Oh yes! My accuracy shot up significantly after I switched to the Boyds. It was a revelation!
