When you do look at stocks, and you are building up a gun to suit you, the shooter, then select what you want, which will work best for you. If its walnut, synthetic, or plywood, each has there own pluses.
If you're wanting to take it to a new look, as from the factory, then you have to look at a stock to match the original. The lowest price rifle long stocks run around $80.00 to $100.00, and can be what is known as utility grade. The ones running about $150.00 are a plain grade. On utility grade, you may receive one with knots, etc, that need to be filled before finishing. Also, both are semi-inletted, in that you have to make them fit, through sanding and chiseling, then finish them. You won't get them pre-checkered this way.
You can get generic pre-fitted stocks, but they will cost more. Also, you can send a stockmaker your gun, and have a perfect stock made, checkering and all.
Look around the gun parts houses. If they are an old company, like Numrich, they could have a new old stock for sale.
