Savage AccuStock: Game changing stock technology
I try not to use words like “awesome” in the title for blog posts, so I substituted it with “game changing”. But don’t let that word change deceive you. I am *really* excited by this new stock coming out of Savage.
The Savage Accutrigger raised the bar on what consumers could realistically expect from a mass-produced factory trigger.Savage have brought custom-performance to factory-mass-produced stocks. They call it the AccuStock.
Savage explains the technology in their press release:
The AccuStock uses an aluminum spine and 3D Bedding Cradle molded into the stock in such a manner that it becomes an integral part of the composite stock.
The result is a polymer composite stock that possesses many of the same properties of high-end aftermarket stocks, bringing this high level of performance to the production rifle.
…
Rigidity – With its integral aluminum spine that runs from the action down the length of the forearm, the AccuStock is the most rigid factory polymer stock in the marketplace. No matter how hot the weather or the barrel, the forend stays rock-solid and the barrel remains free-floating.
Three-Dimensional Bedding Pressure – Pillar-bedded and v-block stocks, as good as they are, only apply bedding pressure on one axis, up and down. The AccuStock uses a wedge bolt to push the recoil lug back into the aluminum spine to prevent any movement forward and aft, while the bedding cradle literally squeezes the action from the sides when the action screws are tightened.
Initially two rifles will be available with the AccuStock:
Model 10 FCP
* AccuTrigger
* Proprietary Muzzle Brake (new from Savage)
* Detachable Box Magazine
* Oversized Bolt handle
* 24-inch heavy, fluted barrel
* Matte Finish
* Available in 308 Win. And 223 Rem.
* Left-hand models available
Model 10 FCP
Model 10 Precision Carbine
* Camo: Digital Green Camo
* 20-in medium-contour barrel
* AccuTrigger
* Detachable Box Magazine
* Oversized Bolt Handle
* Matte Black Metal Finish
* Available in 308 Win. and 223 Rem.
Model 10 Precision Carbine
No word on pricing. Unfortunately it is not yet offering rimfire models.
Looks like a budget priced version of the Accurate Innovations stock. Should be a great additional feature to Savage’s already very accurate rifles.
Personally, I wouldn’t worry too much about it not being available on their rimfires. They did not offer the Accutrigger for a whole year on their rimfire models and it is now available. Personally, I would oove to see this on a long action model in 30-06 or 270. Let’s see what comes in 2009.
Thanks for this very interesting tidbit.
Can anybody suggest a stock for my savage mod 110 tactical .25-06 with a bull barell? sanderson5546@yahoo.com
