I have an LRPV in 22-250 which shoots like a dream but the only disappointment is the synthetic HS stock it came with. Dont get me wrong, the stock is very functional and good quality for a factory stock I guess if youre into synthetics but I have always preferred the lasting beauty of a hardwood stock and being from Canada and the rarity of nice hardwood stocks for Savage, I have decided to make my own from flamed maple and walnut. Hope people will like it.
