Savage 10 FCP 5R ....New Stock availability?

[SOE_technician]

Hello SH,

So I am thinking hard on a new stock.. I have seen many threads on this but was wondering what is preferred. I am getting into tactical matches and right now shoot quite a lot. My first matches is a couple months off from now. My current weight for my rig is 12.8 lbs i don't want to shift from this much as I like it lessons recoil but is still no problem to move with.

MY main limitation is the bottom bolt release on my Savage.. Id like a McMillan or HS are these decent? Whats the ticket on one of these and Does anyone have one maybe they dont want any longer

I liked the McMillan A5 and I think you will find there are quite a few that like those over the Manners due to color options and price. My personal opinion is to look at the Manners. I have a Savage 10 PC and got the T4A. Now they have the elite tactical lay-up and they are even lighter. Sweet stock!!! The stock is amazing. Looking at the T6A in the elite tactical lay-up this time around. I know that's what you asked but I wanted to offer another option. Sorry if that was not what you were looking for.

Not a fan of the HS but that's just my opinion.

No apology needed man , great info and i will look into them . I actually dont want my gun much lighter or heavier... 12lbs is give or take a lbs is very comfortable to me. are the manners very light ?

I have a McMillan A5 for my bottom bolt release savage. It's a great stock, very solid. I was also able to order it with the exact specs that I wanted. It will be slightly heavier than the factory stock. HS does not make a stock that is a direct fit for bottom bolt release.

You can get your action converted to top bolt release and then that will open up your options.

Either a Manners or McMillan, inletted for factory DBM, should work with the bottom bolt release - might just need a fuzz of inletting around the trigger guard area that can be easily done by hand.

I have two McM A5s on my Savages and like them a lot, but I bought them both used for a good deal. I've previously owned a Manners T2 and it was a great stock, and would not hesitate to buy another from Tom & company.

How much did it run you , Your saying them build ready to just drop my barreled action into? . Any noticable increases in accuracy or just a better feel.

Check that link out. He puts some info on weight in that thread. Mine is the T4A w/90% carbon fiber fill. This elite tactical lay-up is a 100% carbon fiber shell.

Mine is a Savage 10 PC
20" factory heavy barrel
Stock barreled action
SWFA 5-20X50
Adj cheek
Manners T4A with 90% carbon fill

I'm at 13.4 lbs

Depending on optics with the T4A in the elite tactical lay-up I think you could be right in the range you want to be in.

I ordered mine with LE discount, but without it I think it would have been around $800. It does have the adjustable cheekrest, flush cups, and pillars. Yes, it is fully inletted for the action and bottom metal. I don't know that there is any increase in accuracy, but the feel is 200% better than the accustock.

I feel like this is somewhat overblown these days. What high end stocks can you not get for the bottom bolt release Savages? I know HS doesn't make a stock for them. But McMillan, Manners, McRee, XLR all make stocks/chassis for them. Plenty of great options there.

AICS, like this.

Thats a damn good lookin rig ya got there man. 10 rd mag from dark eagle?

and how easy way it to drop in the barreled action just as easy as the factory stock comming on and off?
I really want that thing alot looks great and has to be hand for prone shooting which i do alot.

I had an A5 previously on another rifle and just couldnt warm up to it. The AICS just feels right, to me and worth every penny. It will certainly do until I can scrape the money together for a real AI.

Yep, it's a dark eagle mag (excellent products). Yeah mine dropped in just as easy as the factory stock. Also I forgot about the AICS for Savage...will not fit with bottom bolt release.

shit I bet she shoots just fine , plus it looks slick. and like you said doesnt cost near as much at a AI rig

Here is a Pic to compare the two...

You would need to bed the action. If your coming from an accustock, you'll find that a good bedding job with a good aftermarket stock will make a world of difference. My savage was originally a sub MOA rifle, assuming I took my time, but I'm not claiming it was under .5. With the new stock, I seem to have improved and believe it is a .5 or better now. To be completely honest though, I had done some load development for this rifle and I did make a few adjustments while waiting on the action to be bedded. Could be dumb luck though. The biggest thing I noticed though was the POI shift between stocks. I shoot suppressed and with the bedding job in the Manners, it changed the harmonics and my POI shift increased. Nothing I can't overcome but it was noticeable.
