Savage has made a few different varieties of short actions over the years. One is not necessarily better than another, but when buying a stock, you need to know what type you have so as to get the stock that is already inletted properly for it and has the screw spacing set up properly for it.

THis article in the FAQ section of this forum explains the different actions and what to look for. http://www.savageshooters.com/conten...Action-Lengths

Once you know what you have, then you can get the stock that will fit your action. Don't look for stocks that fit certain models such as "FCNS" or "Hog Hunter" or "Trophy Predator Hunter" or whatever they want to call various configurations that the marketing department calls them. Look for stocks that fit what is described in the above article and specific type of magazine system described in other articles in the FAQ section.
