Just my personal opinion but i bought one of the early f/tr rifles and i think you would be time and money ahead to buy the action and aftermarket barrel from Jim and build them. Then you can put whatever stock you like on them. Savage will sell you a stock if you like the factory stock. i made the mistake of looking inside my factory railroad tracked barrel with a bore scope and went straight to Jim with an order for a new barrel and i don't regret it one bit.
