Pt 3: Choosing the Best Stock for the Savage 12FV - 1 Mile for $1000
What's the best stock for the 6.5 Creedmoor Savage 12FV we're preparing for into a long-range precision work? Let's examine the Boyds At-One and the GRS Bifrost: two top contenders with two totally different price tags.

Let's start with the Boyds At One. Carved from rigid hardwood laminate, the At-One stock comes in a variety of colors from camouflage to zany. The real party trick of the At One is its adaptability. Swap the grip panels to turn the hunter shape into a prone rifle. Swap the forend panel to a wider semi-beavertail with a long groove for better rest stability and offhand comfort. Even the skid plate at the back can be replaced with a railed section for running a rear monopod. And then you have the adjustable cheekpiece and buttpad, allowing sportsmen to quickly refit the rifle to comfortable dimensions. I've previously reviewed it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV20OLuppvw With a price tag of only $190, the Boyds At-One will be a popular choice.
And now for something completely different. The GRS Bifrost breaks all the rules of traditional stock design, most noticeable in its offset and canted pistol grip. It may not seem like a big deal at first glance, but when I tested the design on last year's GRS Berserk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nVIh7LZlFc) I found it to be the most comfortable prone stock on the market; much more comfortable than you can imagine. But where the GRS Berzerk felt a touch heavy, the GRS Bifrost shaves off noticeable weight. It also replaces the spring-loaded buttpad and cheekpiece adjustments for a nifty "captured" method that won't come apart out in the field. Looking its construction, the Bifrost stock appears to be modular furniture. We'll see where that goes in the future. Light weight, adjustability, modularity, and supreme comfort cost a good bit more than the At-One. Expect to pay about $750 for this Norwegian import.
Both stocks will get you there, as will models from Choate, McMillan, and others. Examine your own purpose for your rig and choose the best precision stock that meets that purpose. Since we're configuring to hit a mile, I want a prone shape that fits my personal dimensions. Either of these two stocks will work very well.
