I've got a 10T-SR in 6.5mm Creedmoor and it is good shooter in its factory Accu-stock.
The stock already has an aluminum frame and is aluminum bedded.
It is not like the 'Tupperware' stock on Cabela's 12 FV model which I also have.
The 12 FV shoots pretty darn well with the 'Tupperware' stock. I have a .223 and a 6.5mm Creedmoor that I bought a couple of months ago.
The 10T-SR is a pretty light rifle and will take some getting used to in order to shoot it accurately at long distances.
Even though it has a reasonably stable stock, I still needed some range time before I was able to be consistent with it.
While I went through the shooting-in period, I also found that its particular barrel liked lighter bullets than I would have chosen for really long distance shooting.
My 12 LRP 6.5mm Creedmoor fortunately likes heavy bullets in the 142 and 147 grain range that are perfect for long distance.
Because the 12 FV likes the same heavy bullets that I want to shoot at longer distances is has become my load development 6.5mm CM rifle for my 12 LRP with a heavy, HS precision stock that fits me perfectly.
No use wearing out a good barrel testing loads.
I would suggest that you find out how you shoot the 10T-SR first and get a feel for just how the stock fits you.
That will give you a good reference point when you start to choose an upgrade for the stock.
Long range precision shooting is a different beast than just shooting at 100 or 200 yards, as many of the members of this forum can attest, much better than I ever will be able to.
But if you aren't already shooting very accurately at 100 yards and 200 yards, you'll first have to get that part of the equation solved before you move out to longer distances.
Most ranges I know that have more than 300 yard capability make you prove your capable at 300 yards before they even let you qualify for the long distances of 600 yards out to 1000 yards.
I would caution you about buying an upgrade stock before you have managed to prove to yourself that you can get your 10T-SR to consistently shoot tight groups at 100 and 200 yards.
Doing that will get you familiar with what bullets and powder the rifle shoots best and how to load to get the accuracy you'll need to be successful at long distances.
Rushing into changing stocks and barrels before you are familiar with a rifle is like rebuilding a new car to go drag racer before you learn to drive.
I'm not saying your not already to make the change already, but until you know how your particular rifle performs, you'll be flying blind when you have to make decisions on what will work the best for you.
