You might be surprised. In the past that was very much true - even just 5-10 years ago, but in the last few years that's been changing. These days those wanting something cheap are buying a Savage Axis or Ruger American, or possibly even a Remington 783 (funny how the latter two are Savage clones - as are the Mossbergs). Those buying the 110-Series models still are those wanting higher quality stuff. And given how chinsy the base Savage synthetic stock is most are looking to upgrade it right from the start. Boyds has cornered the wood/laminate replacement stock market for these guns, but there's still really no good quality synthetic stock option available at this point.
I will be the first to admit though, Savage has been their own worse enemy in this regard over the last 10-15 years with their series of running changes. Can't expect the aftermarket to fully get on board when the product is constantly changing.
