I own 2 new rifles...

Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP Package, Bolt Action, .300 Win. Magnum

And the

Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP Package, Bolt Action, 6.5 creedmoor

Both in the left handed model. The 6.5 is all over the place, I can flex the barrel in the stock almost 3/4 of an inch by hand. I am looking for 2 things, so this post will be in both areas, but I am looking for-
Best suggestions for aftermarket stocks, and barrels.
They will be used for hunting, but I will be carrying the .300 a lot. The 6.5 will have a lot of setup...not as much carry.

What are your thoughts? Is Boyd’s worth it for the .300? I am more interested in something with a pistol grip... Should I skip bipods, since I carry tripods anyway, or would bipods be better?

As far as barrels, we only have a few worth looking at, I need the big heavy for the magnum correct.
