Looking for input on an aftermarket stock for my model 10TR in .308
Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings and help me out with a new stock.
Shooting prone has been tricky to say the least with my factory Savage Model 10TR in .308
It seems even the slightest change in load on the bipod throws my shots turning groups into large patterns. Shooting off the bench results in a 3-4" upward shift in POI.
A nice fellow at the range today said it was probably the Accustock flexing too much. I thought the Accustock was supposed to be a good rigid platform?
Anyways, he suggested I get an aftermarket stock (Bell and Carlson M40, etc) in order to eliminate or at least greatly decrease the variability caused by the factory stock.
Any suggestions for an aftermarket stock?
Should I get one with an adj cheek piece, or just use my Karsten adj cheek piece that is currently slipping down on the factory stock?
Thanks for any and all input on this! I greatly appreciate it!:eagerness:

The Accustock is decent enough for where the action sits, but upfront it flexes a bit more than it should.
If you search the site, you'll find instructions on hogging out the front end, and epoxying aluminum arrow shafts to stiffen the forend.
Otherwise yes, most every factory rifle will benefit from an aftermarket stock. Lots of good ones out there, making it fit you is the big trick.
Personally, I love my Manners stock, but for the money, it's hard to beat the B&C offerings. There are several chassis on the market that do a great job, without spending a lot of extra money for bottom metal.
