The Trophy Hunter part is the Gotcha as they use the Axis style magazine to keep cost down. You basically have three options:
1. Order a Boyds that's a drop-in fit for this as-is
2. Order a S/A centerfeed 4.40" screw spacing stock with bottom bolt release andeither a DBM or blind magazine. If you go DBM you will need to purchase the bottom metal and different magazine from Savage. Blind you just pop the plastic cap off your current magazine.
3. Order a S/A centerfeed 4.40" screw spacing stock with bottom bold release and blind mag then have it inlet for aftermarket AICS-style bottom metal such as CDi's.
If it's just going to be a hunting rifle I would go the direct replacement route with Boyds as it will be the cheapest and easiest option. Just select any of the two-digit models with bottom bolt release from their menu system (i.e. 11 Bottom Bolt Release).
Currently there's nothing available in a synthetic that will work without changing the magazine type.
