Bound's hubby here:Your Remington 710 HAS a "pistol grip style" stock!
Now, I believe that your Remington 710 is already "free-floated"! If you can slide a piece of composition paper along the barrel to the receiver, the barrel is "free floated". If the paper stops within 2 to 3 inches of the tip of the foreend, the barrel is mounted with a "pre-determined amount" of "up" pressure for accuracy.
Now, your desire for an "adjustable cheek piece" stock. This type of stock is generally considered a specialty item for TARGET rifles. Sorry, but the rifle you have is NOT in the league of a target rifle ... and this type of stock is not readily available! Sounds like you are trying to turn your 710 into a target rifle ... that is like trying to turn a "Jack Russel" into a Saint Bernard! (It just ain't gonna happen!). Now, you can find a custom stock maker that will take your money and make the stock you want ... but you will be out much more than what your 710 cost!
Now, what would be more expensive than the custom stock, would be the mechanism that finely adjusts the cheek piece, ... the last time I saw one (either a Anschutz or Walther's), the cost for the mechanism was close to $200 ... and that was about 5 years ago!
HINT: What may better serve your needs (I am reading between the lines here) us a "high comb" stock, that would better raise your eye [by raising the cheek] to "scope height". The problem is ... stocks are not made for the "710", so you would need to buy a stock blank (see link) and have it inletted. By the way, 99.9% of all rifle stocks made today for bolt action rifles are of a pistol grip design!
Good luck!
