Stock universality

hey, I got myself a stevens 200 in 308 for a steal, but of course found out instantly that the stock is absolute shite.

As far as replacements, will stocks for other savage bolt actions or even other brands' bolt action centre fire rifles be applicable
to it?

I can do minor modifications to make one work if anyone can give me a lead :)

thanks

Boyds?

The other option is to epoxy arrow shafts into the fore stock.

That can help if the for end is the problem but often for end flexing is actually the result of nothing substantial between the action screws in the mag well area. One advantage of blind mags.

The fore ends on these are the worst part. A can will help a lot; by reducing the recoil you reduce the amount of flexing.
