New owner of a Savage Model 10 243 help me decide on the right stock

[ClassicCannons]

Hi
I think i may machine a stock from a block of walnut i got with a pistol grim and sort of a triangle fore stock so it would be something to grab the walnut is 3" thick by 5 feet by 16 " it got to weigh around 100 lbs. And have a thumb hole by the pistol grip.Almost like this one but not so skinny before the pistol grip And i'll have a semi flat concave cheek rest I think it would look neat i could rough cut it and use a disc sander for the contours. It has a really nice grain and i'll taper the base of the pistol grip too. I have a lot of ball end mills for the radius on the inside so thats not a issue to do the inside neatly

And as far as the scope it would be great to buy that one but it,s close to $800 bucks it would be like putting a my car is a gas saver model and its a 91 land cruiser. Liek the other guy said i should buy a better gun but this one was a good deal at $280 with all the other stuff he has a mold for it somewhere. But with the lee press and dies powder i,ll not complain

Thanks again Austin

If you want a good long range scope that is affordable try the sightron SIII 8-32x56mm and dont get the one with the mil dots as they are way too big.Get the moa reticle.If you have a staggerfeed then go to stockys and look at the bobby hart target varmint stock. Trigger wise the rifle basix sav-2 is my favorite for now.The mcree stocks are nice and expensive.Do you really need a folding stock? Then get the action bedded .The shaw barrels are better than an original barrel but I would seriously consisder a criterion.You are willing to spend the bucks on an expensive mcree but you seem interested in a run of the mill barrel which is not a good idea for long range shooting.You need a barrel that is as accurate as you can get in my book.Good luck with your build and call northlander for the tools you will need to do it correctly.
