Re: looking for a aftermarket stock for my tigershark
Do you want a synthetic or a laminate?
For synthetic/composite I would have to say a B&C Medalist. For a laminate I would have to say a factory BVSS stock. Both have a semi squared off forend and ride the bags pretty decently, and are comfortable to shoot.
Theres other options out there, but it depends on how much you were wanting to spend.
If it is a centerfeed action there is a Medalist in the classifieds right now for 225shipped.
You could always sell your stock to recoup some of the money spent on the new one too.

Be sure to check screw spacing my tigershark is 4.250 not the newer 4.40.
My bench set up is similar to yours but the rear bag is a protector with the smaller ears and my tiger stock rides perfectly in it. A new set of bags is a lot cheaper than a stock change over.
My rifle is a model 12 ss with a 26" barrel and a Mueller 8.5-25 definitely not for hunting too heavy but it sure does well on the bench so far.
