***Sorry, meant "Savage 10 TR", not TH***
Hello,
I need some fast advice.
I've been looking for a decent low-priced .308 (100-400 yard plinker). I've looked at a Rem 700 SPS Tactical, or maybe a Savage... both of which are around $650.
But today I saw a "Savage 10 TR" at a gun store, for $460. I can't find any info on it. It appears to be practically identical to the 10 FP-SR, but a 20" barrel instead of a 22", a much larger bolt handle, and a releasable magazine. Why is it $200 cheaper??? Do you think accuracy might be comparable to a 700 SPS tactical? Anything else I should know?
Also, the guy who was helping me said I could switch out the floorplate/surrounding part with a different one from savage to accept 10-round box magazines (like the FSP-SR). Is there any truth to that?
Thanks!!
