Your 16 LWH receiver will fit into any newer short-action Savage stock with 4.40" screw spacing, the problem is not all of them are compatible with the Axis-style magazine that the LWH uses. The two options to get around that would be to either a) go to a blind magazine, or b) buy the bottom metal and metal magazine cap and convert your gun over to the premium style DBM.
The blind mag option really isn't all that feasible (though you think it would be) simply because blind mag 4.40" stocks are more scarce than those that will accept the Axis mag's. That leave converting to the premium style mag, which will add a bit of weight to the LWH which most don't want to do.
Unfortunately, if you want a truly lightweight stock for a Savage (under 30oz.) you're pretty much limited to Manners or McMillan which means a high price and long wait time.
