To me, not nearly enough information. Further notation that a "custom stock" is notably often "in the eyes of the beholder". Entirely subjective! With sufficient pix, perhaps to achieve a majority opinion. With the scant info provided, it would be a disservice to you as trying to answer the question.
As a generalization nowadays, "customs" reflecting classic styling of the twenties-thirties eras seem best to capture the big 'hit' market trend if in wood. Stocks of the exaggerated Weatherby style as interpreted in fifties and sixties, the big losers. In between more the functional/useful 'also ran' as most of us have nowadays in category of the "really good buys... For what they are!

Just my take and good luck! Best! John
Hmm, an Interarms Mk X with 20's-30's style stock....
The rifle in question, at $900 is worth that for the Metalwork alone. The stock itself, functional and a freebie.
I just don't see that Cabella's Mk 10 displaying a "custom stock"! Below my Interarms Whitworth Mk 10 in a much more "custom styled stock rifle"! Available in 375 H&H or 458 Win Mag, as here. Pix below in factory "Express Rifle" format. As I recall about $450 used!
Custom to many means anything not factory. To Cabelas. it usually means fugly.
As for, oh, I got mine for $450, well, that was some time ago, I'm sure. An unaltered Whitworth in .375 or .458 rarely sells for less than $1,200 to $1,400 anymore and most have seen use.
So, for $900 minus the 10% of next Monday, that could be an $800 pickup that one could restock with a pretty nice stock. Use your Club card, and get another 10% off, $720.
Something about that store makes it my lucky store for used guns. Not a Mark X, but they had like-new Savage Model 14 and Kimber Classic in great shape at good prices. I got the Savage and it is simply an awesome rifle... only gripe is low magazine capacity (WSM). By the time I saved enough for the Kimber it was gone! I've noticed several other nice rifles I was not after, go through there.
