Hogue savage short action heavy barrel pillar bed stock - Hogue Savage 10, 12 & 16 Top Loading Box Mag Short Action Heavy Barrel Pillar Bed Stock 11114

Installation took some extra work which was no big deal for me but would be difficult for someone who is not familiar with bedding stocks. The trigger guard and magazine needed spacers (or bedding) to fit properly. Definitely an upgrade over many Savage factory stocks (.308 Win Hog Hunter model in my application) but probably only marginally better than a Savage Accustock with difference being in the feel of the rubber overmold and grip design of the Hogue. The fore-end is not as stiff as I would like, especially with a bidpod attached, but I feel like it makes a great stock for hunting, especially in poor weather conditions.
Pros: Grip design, rubber overmold
Cons: Fore-end flex, not quite drop-in installation
