I am new to the Savage site. I have a couple of Savage Shotguns [old ones] but am now considering purchasing a 17HMR, a buddy assures me that I need to buy one. Currently looking at the Model 93R17 GV17 Left Hand- yep, I'm a southpaw. My question; is there an aftermarket stock available for this particular firearm? I have looked at Boyd Stocks, but their warnings leave me a little skeptical about the fit. Does anyone know if I would have to do some wood working in order to get a good fit, and will I need to purchase a heavier magazine plate and trigger guard?

May just skip all of this and go for the Model 93R17 BTVSS Left Hand and be done with it - I do like a thumb hole stock.

Comments / input appreciated.
