Congrats on the acquisition. There are a host of muzzle breaks available, some requiring gun-smithing, and some not. It kinda depends on what you want out of it. Sorry, I can't speak on the stock, as I haven't ever owned or even shot a Savage.
Just get a tactical brake with a closed bottom, the accustock is a good stock, so is the accutrigger, shoot it a bit and figure out what direction you want to go.
I'm hoping to buy the same rifle in the 20" version when I return from my current job assignment and plan on using Ross Schuler's brake. Do a quick search on here and you'll see he has nothing but good reviews, excellent customer service and low prices.
happy for you, doubt you will be disappointed. I have had my Savage 10 FCP-SR 5R, in .308. Only 3 wks and love it. It already performs very good and as my round count is still shy of 100 im sure it will only get better.I like the accustock actually is built well and from the accuracy Im getting must be very rigid. the barrels and trigger are great and I am impressed with the action given these aren't supper pricey. Im focused on getting some new glass! what glass did you end up with? Good luck with the new rifle should post pics.
Running a RAD Rapid brake on my Savage 10PC - MRAD "RAPID BRAKE TM" Easy to install and remove and no timing issues to worry about. Didn't go for this brake for it's looks, but the damn thing really works. If you want to really squeeze the last bit of potential out of your Savage, read this - Savage Action Screw Torque Tuning within AccurateShooter.com
The end price for the rifle was $470 which I thought was a steal with the egw base included. Not sure on the moa on it, but as far as glass I'm starting with a swfa ss 10x and will take that off and put it on my bolt .223 when I get it and hopefully upgrade to a 14 variable power or ss 16x. Still shopping for a muzzle brake
the 16X SWFA is exactly what Im saving for, they are very well priced on samplelist.com
