How expensive would it be to have someone at a store do it?
Thanks!

How easy would it be to install this stock into a 10FP?

Its a drop in stock. IIRC, that means you should be able to just take off your old stock, then drop the action, barrel, etc into that one and put the screws back in. Should be able to do it yourself in about 3 minutes.

Piece of cake. Remove your action screw, then the 2 screws by the trigger guard. Remove rifle, place in new stcok, instal action screw, and some B&C's only have provisions for the front trigger guard screw.

DIY all the way.

Couple minutes, all you need is a screwdriver....
I have that same stock on my Savage and I like it a lot, mines not black however as you can see.

It may increase it. If you have a sporter weight barrel or whatever is smaller than varmint the larger varmint barrel channel will provide space so the barrel is "free floated".

Certainly not in a negative way.
The stock does allow the barrel on mine to free-float nicely and the stock is constructed of much better material than the standard issue stock that Savage installs. The Decelerator butt-pad on the Duramaxx stock absorbs the recoil a little better also. Overall the comfort level of the shooter is increased and that alone could increase the accuracy of the rifle.
I got mine a couple of years ago. Had to inlet it for the accutrigger to fit. Also sanded the inside of the handguard for additional barrel clearance. It works pretty well and did help boost accuracy compared to the factory tupperware.

great stocks, and 99.99% drop in
and maybe a small file...
the only hang up is that unless B&C "corrected for it" (more accurately, made their product allow for a flaw in savage's) many times the barreled action does not sit square in the stock and the barrel will be off center in the channel.
this is NOT a defect in the stock, the problem lies with the rifle's stamped recoil lug, the lug is typically not square/slightly distroted and many/most times just a touch off center.
the two available fixes IF your particular gun is this way are to,
A. file material off of one side of the slot for the lug so that the action lays square and even in the stock
B. buy an after market lug from Sharp Shooter Supply (under "assesories") and have your 'smith install it or buy the barrel nut wrench as well and to it yourself.
as you can guess most that have or feel a need to do this have just filed the slot larger.
