Thanks for the tips, surely it will help those using the tool. The way I decided to go is both free and doesnt ruin a case so its too late for me. I find it strange they used such an oddball thread.

I'm waiting for the Cadex chassis I ordered, but if I had stayed with the original stock, on top of a bedding, I would have filled the empty spaces to give it more rigidity and remove the cheap "hollow" feeling, especialy the buttstock part.

YOU MUST POST PICS.......Droool.......
My only qualm with the rifle is the oversize 'tactical' bolt handle. It looks cool, but it's a bit much. I'm thinking of installing a standard size knob.
I think the Accustock is pretty good as-is. For a little more rigity you can install the bipod on the rear sling swivel which will apply pressure on the aluminum pillar closer to the action.
Then if you're still worried about potential barrel contact you can visually free float it by cuting away the plastic on the stock that surrounds the barrel so only the bottom with pillar remains. It looks interesting, and could definitely be done cleaner...

Man, that's pretty awesome looking.
BTW, if you're not a fan of the 10TR bolt handle, I'm sure you will probably have no trouble finding someone to trade with you

Pic I snapped when I went to shoot 1050m yesterday.
Going to take it apart for duracoat soon.
Looks a lot like a rifle in post #410? Nice looking rifle, reached out to 1,050m? Congrats!

That stuff is dynamite! My 10TR shoots that ammo really well as well.
I was making hits at 1050 with it earlier this spring. Super impressed with it!
So impressed I went out and bought 300 rounds of it!
Cheers!
Yah, you gotta love the 10TR: best $640 I ever spent on a rifle. Once you come to terms with the tight chamber specifications of these rifles, you can really get them to perform
quite well. Some people need a fancy decked out gazillion dollar rig, me, I just want to shoot bug holes, I don't give a rat a$$ if it looks tacticool, or not.

You won't find it listed on their website (and lord knows I've tried), but there are a few retailers that do have them in stock in either 20" or 24" barrels. The prices seem to range
from around $650 to $750. If you are thinking about dabbling with long range shooting, the Savage 10TR is an inexpensive starting point; at least that is why I bought mine.
Thanks! Weird that they don't list it on their website. And yes, you hit the nail on the head, I am just getting started in Long range/ precision shooting and trying to do so without breaking the bank if I can.
Frontier and SFRC both have the 10TR in stock. I'm sure there's more retailers as well.
If your looking at the FCP-SR, be careful because they released a newer model which doesn't compare to the original.
