So I've always wanted a Savage 99 . I found a 99EG but it's been cut down and fitted with a rubber recoil pad. They did an OK job but I'd really rather have it in more or less original condition with a steel butt plate. That means finding a stock. Numrich has them listed and there are a few on eBay.

The question is...would a used stock need to be fitted? They look like they are really complex shapes. If the new stock needed to be altered, I seriously doubt I would be able to handle more than a minor amount.

Has anyone had to replace their stock?
