Thanks for your replies,
I have held the factory Remington and Savage synthetic stocks, the Savage felt rough almost unfinished, but my nephew has one that shoots well. So I know what you mean when you say cost may not result in performance. Its good to know the Remington stock works well if I do end purchasing it. That is a very nice looking rifle.
I like the looks of the Bell and Carlson Carbelite,

but cant find much end user information. It looks like a quality product and fits my budget. Can anyone give me feedback about this product?
