After a bit of a search, I finally located a donor 270Win Model 111 to use for a 6.5x284 build. The one I have has a light synthetic stock with a DBM. I would like to get a laminate varmint style stock, like what I have on my short action rifles, as a counterbalance for the 26" varmint barrel. I know how unwieldy a Remington 700 SPS is with the varmint barrel and tupperware stock, so that is certainly not what I'm after.

I have looked at Stockys and Boyds and for whatever reason they do not seem to cater for the long action Savage rifles. From what I can gather, the Stevens and Savage long actions are identical regarding action screw spacing. Specifically, there does not seem to be anything made for the Savage detachable magazines ?

Is there something obvious I am missing ?

So far the best thing I have found is this hogue stock at Midway.

According to the description, it has a full bedding block. The inletting is for varmint barrels, so it "should" balance properly ? Anyone have feedback on this one ?
