I am new to the Savage world, but I too became very frustrated recently when trying to find aftermarket tactical style stocks for a long action Savage. PERHAPS THEY ARE OUT THERE, but I sure as hell couldn't find any of my liking or price range; I wanted something like the KRG BRAVO with a detachable bottom magazine.
Anyway, I finally surrendered to the fact that the "aftermarket stock universe" seems to belong mostly to actions with a REMINGTON 700 footprint... and even more so for the short action rifles than the long; Just facts.
So this probably wont help you, but I finally solved my problem by ordering a Nucleus action from American Rifle Company up in Washington. Their actions have a REMINGTON 700 footprint, but accept Savage small shank prefit barrels too... in other words, they gave me the best of both worlds!!!
But I was further enthused by the fact that its a modern toroidal three lugged CONTROL FEED Mauser action (super smooth) and that the bolt heads can easily be swapped out for caliber changes. What else could you ask for?
Anyway, like I said above, this information may not help you any, but that's the only way I SAW to solve the lack of aftermarket Savage compatible stocks!!!
By the way, one extra benefit of this move was the fact that the Nucleus Mauser actions DO NOT have the notorious weak ejection issues often attributed to Savage rifles....
THE DOWN side is that the action alone cost 1012 dollar shipped to my FFL.... which can buy you a lot of brand new Savage rifle... albeit still with the aforementioned poor stock option problems.
Sorry I couldn't help more.
