Big Wonderful WyomingSavage 99 stocks
I found a wonderful little 99 in 308 (internal rotary magazine) with great metal finish and a crap stock (must be our envirement here in the desert, damn near all wood guns look like hell here).
$600 for the gun.
Who makes a good serviceable fiberglass or laminate stock?
Prefer monte carlo.

ramrod340Have no clue on the fiberglass or laminate. Boyd's has a wood replacement.

DuaneinNDI think MPI makes a composite stock for the 99

thecanadianComposite stock on a savage 99? I love synthetic stocks, but I could never bring myself to putting one on such a classic rifle. It would be like putting 20" spinners on a 57' Chevy. Find some nice walnut and bring it back to its old glory.

dpcdI agree, but since the 99 is prone to stock breakage due to the thin rear walls, if you are actually going to hunt with one, it would be a shame to break a nice old original stock. So getting a plastic stock just for usage in the field is not a totally bad idea. Or get a laminated one from Boyds; better option than plastic.

For just a functional piece of wood the Boyds can't be beat.
I wouldn't cut a semi for that price then you would need to add the cost of wood.
