Best bet is to put your time and money into stress-free bedding the wood stock and floating the barrel and tang for improved accuracy potential.
The plastic TG is a flimsy POS that will crack with too much torque. I've also had the rear action screw slowly loosen over time with repeated recoil. Replace it with a metal one.
The factory synthetic stock is one of the most affordable, lightest, utility hunting stocks you are going to find for a Savage. Sponge on some camo paint or spray on Krylon webbing and it will look like a custom stock. With Savage factory synthetic stocks, I bed the recoil lug area and first forearm stock well. Putting a pressure pad (bedding strip) http://www.shootingtimes.com/gunsmit...smithing_0206/ at the forearm tip will eliminate the synthetic stocks forearm flex. However, it may or may not improve accuracy potential.
