Got a nice surprise this afternoon. Got a call from my favorite gun shop/indoor shooting range. The brand new Savage 10FLCP-K lefty .308 I ordered had arrived a day earlier than it was supposed to. The Nikon 6-18 X 40 glass I had on order from Midway also arrived. The contractors showed up a week early to install my new furnace/air conditioner, Menards showed up just after noon to deliver my wife's new kitchen appliances. She was with me when I picked up the .308 and I doggone near lost it to her. She thinks it's pretty. (Did I mention, she's actually a better rifle shot than I am?)
BTW, the Kitchen stuff wasn't a bribe as it was ordered over a week before I decided to get the new rifle - We will be sharing range time with this thing, and if it ever comes down to the "zombie shuffle", she'll either be on the .308 or the .223 tactical I also have coming. The .223 is an older Model 10 FLP with a 20" heavy barrel and no accutrigger.
The new .308 is mounted in one of Savage's new Accustocks and it certainly passes the dollar bill test with flying colors - fluted 24" threaded barrel with a really efficient muzzle brake on it. The brake can be easily removed and a suppressor installed if ever necessary. It don't get much better than that.
Gun shop gave me a real decent price on it (MSRP is $919 and I got it for $825 after tax) and they threw in a real nice (but cheap) hard case and a super sling-2. I have a good 6-9" bipod that I'll tack on as soon as the break-in ammo gets here Friday. Probably won't get to shoot it enough to get it settled down after the break-in until sometime next week, but just in case I'm gonna take a handful of the triangle targets along and if I get any decent groups will try a couple on the match targets for giggles.
Just goes to show you, "ya cain't never have too much fun!"
