I have a savage hog hunter 308 that I plan on using for range shooting and hunting and I'm looking at possibly getting a stock or chassis for it.

Main reason is that I really dislike traditional style stocks. I think the classic handhold doesn't really fit your hand properly, the length of pull is always iffy, especially for tall guys like me and I haven't seen a single rifle who's cheek weld is high enough for optics...... that being said, Im looking for a stock that has:

Adjustable cheek.... worse case Ill do it myself
Adjustable butt
Either an AR type pistol grip, or a well thought out thumb hole (ex not a Boyds)
A way to have detachable mags (AI or something similar..... even savage mags are fine)
Lightweight
Folding

INEXPENSIVE!!!

I understand that to be quite a tall order. Closest thing Ive come across was a the Rhineland Leopard stock.... except that's only for Remington actions. And I would probably remove some material around the fore end and butt to save on weight and make it more streamline.

Also looked at a McCree Precision with the AR butt.... so far that's my best option

Any advice is welcomed.

What is your budget? The MDT LSS is inexpensive compared to other chassis systems. You have to add your choice of AR style buttstock and grip. You might want to look at Choate as well.
 
I do beleive my MDT LSS chassis cost me right around $420, plus the cost of the grip, butt, and receiver extension tube. I suppose it depends on if you have AR parts lying around that could work, or if you want to buy all new fancy stuff.

I put a Magpul PRS butt on mine, so I think that was another $290, plus about $25 for my grip, plus whatever the castle nut cost, plus whatever the tube was. All told...probably around $850, but I'm sure you could put together a budget version for quite a bit less.
 
I'm currently designing something that's gonna be pretty interesting, maybe I should go get a savage action and make it fit those as well eh...
 
Yeah we need guys to come up with cool stuff for cheaper. Good work btw. I mean I get it if your putting a Surgean 338 lapua into it...... but an $800 stock on a $500 rifle is a bit excessive. I wish like ATI or someone would make something
 
You're either looking at an LSS or like a choate stock, personally I'm not to found of either but the LSS is probably gonna be your best bet as it is going to allow you to utilize most grips and stocks in the AR market. Just stay away for pistol buffer tubes for stocks, that #### could probably dislocate your shoulder.
