I have a Savage 10FP in a Bell and Carlson A2 stock and for some reason the rear action screw stripped in the stock so now there is just an over-sized hole in the stock with nothing for the screw to bite into. What's the best method to fix that?

What about filling with something like Devcon steel putty then redrilling the hole?

Walmart sells Loctite 2 part epoxy in a two tube syringe type arrangement. I have used this product for similar repairs on a B&C stock with good results.
This product dries hard, but you need to do your fill in layers. I find it easier to fill holes with this product than less viscous products like JB Weld, etc. Less tendency to have voids.
Once it has set up, redrill the hole and you should be back in business (just don't drill the pilot hole too big).

wax up that said screw really well, fill the hole with JB Weld, put the screw in it, let it dry, back the screw out and rock on

The same thing happened to my A2. Since all it does is keep the trigger guard in the stock, I just basically permanently fixed it there with a little drywall spackle. So when I completely disassemble my rifle, my trigger guard is still there, but it doesn't really matter.

That's a radical solution

It doesn't affect the function whatsoever, and if I need to get it out, I just use a screwdriver to break the spackle. Then re-apply if I need it back in there. It's pretty easy.
