So I have decided to start get a savage 10 precision carbine. The rifle comes with accustock&trigger 20" threaded barrel as you may already know.
My long term goal and use for this rifle, is a hog gun, potential whitetail rifle, and occasional target rifle although not so often due to ammo costs. Additionally the rifle will fill a niche of a semi tactical rifle/build as I go rifle.
So the input i am needing is mostly regarding the stock. Eventually I would like to take advantage of the threaded barrel and put a can on it. I made up my mind whatever i go with im going to use a quick detach method when I get to that point. What troubles me is im not sure about the accustock for two reasons. Reason #1 I am not fond of the camo that comes stock on the rifle and have heard it tends to wear and does not clean up well. #2 when I do get around to putting the can on it, will the weight of the can affect my accuracy? Will it cause the barrel to contact the stock/ change my point of aim?
If so i could always replace the stock. What would you recommend in that regard? Also as far as bedding goes would it be wise for me to have it glass bedded? I dont know a whole lot about toying with rifles, my extent thus far has been a couple ar's and my ol barebones .270
Any insight or help would be appreciated and would make my research and decision making go smoother. Feel free to input on anything else I failed to cover that would be note worthy.
Appreciate it guys.
