I stumbled upon an old Stevens 200 in 22-250 with a grey tupperware stock. (good shooter) I really do not like how much that stock flexes so I got on ebay and found a savage take off black plastic stock from what must have been a varmint rifle. It has the wider thicker beavertail forend, pillar inserts for the mounting screws, blind magazine, short action 4.4" spacing on the screw holes and top bolt release. I assume that the wider heavier forend will be more stable than the standard stock I am taking off?
