Pad or Lug?

Use Google, there isn't much info out there on the TR. Gun stores don't even have photos of the gun.
Google doesn't even have much.
The accustock has a full length aluminum bedding block. The action bolts pull the action down between the rails into an aluminum V. The full legnth bedding block prevents the dreaded "stock flex" that seemed to be the major complaint about the factory tupperware. The wedge was done away with some time back because of users having problems re installing them to the same torque, which caused point of impact shifts.
This seems to be a nearly identical setup to the model 10 precision carbine and is an outstanding bargain. I love my 10PC and see no difference in the specs except this one apparently comes with a rail and doesn't sport the digital camo which I can live without anyway. Rails can get pricy real quick so it's just icing on the cake. The only thing I can figure and this is purely speculation is that it probably has the crappy Edge/Axis finish that chips at the drop of a hat.
Still a package with many desirable features at an awesome price. I checked and one of my local shops has a couple at $459 and the owner is begging someone to buy them before he takes em home. :)
Darn it now you have me seriously considering another toy I don't really need.
PS: The threads are 5/8x24 so most standard 30 cal flash hiders and brakes like JP, Miculek and others for a 30 cal AR will thread right on. There is a difference in the recoil lug on the accustock models and the bolt release is under the trigger guard so you probably wont find a drop in stock replacement with this model. (YET) Really not sure why you would want to I love the function of the stock on my 10 PC.
At a Cabelas' in Washington. Looking at the stainless Bear Hunter (300 win mag) the stock was REALLY nice Accustock. Light but no flexing.
OK darn it!
Thanks for feeding my addiction. Now I just gotta have another Savage and it might as well be another LE series rifle. Especially one with the desirable features this one has. One of the local gun stores has one available for $450+ tax and is holding it for my pickup next week.
My heart thanks you but my wallet sticks it's tongue out at you.

I have looked for this gun and have yet to find it. It seems like such a deal. The closest gun from savage is like $400 more and it's the same gun? How does that work?
I wonder if it uses the Axis magazines with the plastic retainer on the magazine base plate or the detachable mags where the metal latch is on the bottom metal????
so how is this different than fp-sr/fcpk. other than bolt handle, muzzle device. seem the price is 2/3 or 1/2 the cost of fp-sr/fcp-k?
Got her yesterday

The retainers are on the mag, but they're metal. There are two tabs on the front and rear of the mag, both metal and part of the mag body. Its like a mag on the precision carbine. Fits very tight.
The accustock is different than the PC. The wedge that goes by the recoil lug is MIA. There is a groove in the bedding for the lug to fit in. Also, the forearm is flared out.
I'm assuming then that the mag release is a metal part affixed to the bottom metal (magazine frame).
But it is without a doubt an AccuStock? Have you removed the action and seen the Accustock aluminum bedding block?Quote:

It appears that the specifications of the 10TR are near identical to the Precision Carbine BUT the TR also includes a one piece scope rail and a tactical bolt handle and 5R rifling all at a SUBSTANTIALLY reduced price??? How does that happen??? Oh and apparently it's also available with a 24" barrel option too???
