Hi all, I'm new here and new to Savage rifles. I've been living in the AR world for what seems forever, but I recently acquired a Savage 16/116 Weather Warrior chambered in 270WSM. I believe it is an FCSS- it has a blind box magazine.

I'd like to replace the stock and add a scope rail/ base to it. Down the road I'll probably rebarrel it to a 300WSM. For now, I'll just do the stock and the scope base and enjoy the gun for what it is, but the stock is terrible.

My problem is the barrel is a sporter contour and most of the stocks I like are made for a heavier contour. I plan on using this for a hunting rig and was looking at B&C Medalist M40 on Stocky's right now but that is what I have in mind, although I'm up for other options.

The rifle has a top bolt release and I was also hoping to get some new bottom metal so I could add a drop out mag for 3 rounds. I'm having a hard time with that.

Anyway, any advise or help would be great!
