Best bet would be to lose that stock, next would be to stiffen and float it.
I use a bulls X type shooting rest so the pressure is shifted rearward on those flexible stocks on my Savages.
Between floating the barrels and that X bag, I get pretty fair performance but just moving to a Carlson "Duramax" stock would be a huge improvement over the factory tuppeware version.

I bipod all my rifles and most have plastic stocks. I've never seen an issue. I guess it might if I was going for competition groups but never seen anything but an improvement. I'm a hunter though, inch'ish makes me happy with most of my rifles.
