I have purchased three Bell and Carlson synthetic stocks. Two for Savages and one for a Howa 1500. They have all been drop-in with one requiring some minor trimming. The accuracy of both my Savages increased as a result of the new stocks. The Howa is at a gunsmith to free float the barrel and glass bed it. I didn't do any bedding on the Savages. I bought my B&C stocks at Midway USA.

If you can, get the Medalist stock they sell.  It has a full length aluminum bedding block.  I swapped my Browning's stock and it has really added consistency.  The one thng about them is that they are not very sleek feeling - at least not like the svelt factory Browning stock.  Might take a little getting used to but mine was also complete drop infit.  I noticed that the mag didn't bind once I switched stocks.
