Look at the B&C Medalist tactical/varmit stocks at just over $200. I don't like anything B&C makes on a hunting rifle. They are all just plain too heavy. But for what you want they are every bit as good as the HS, and at 1/2 the price.

I don't care for the tactical look, but put one of their sporter stocks on my FN Patrol rifle. It was a huge improvement, and took almost 1 full pound off the ungodly heavy Hogue that came on it.

Do you handload? If not your money would be better spent on loading equipment and supplies. That rifle should be a 1/2" shooter as is with carefully put together handloads. That is where I think you will see the biggest improvement in accuracy for the dollar.

Almost all of my rifles have aftermarket stocks, mostly $500-$600 McMillans. I've never noted any significant improvement in accuracy. I buy them because they are lighter, fit me better, are tougher, and look a lot better.
