Savage Rifles

Those Savage rifles are of outstanding quality at any price...and they are real bargains! The Accutrigger is especially nice. The Savage rifles are the weapons of choice for many SWAT teams. Another action frequently used is the Remington 700...but I see no superiority over the Savages, which are much more reasonably priced.

I use a Savage 10 in .308 Win with a Houge stock, Harris bipod, and an 8 x 24 x 50-mm scope with illuminated mil-dot reticule for long range shooting. With my handloads I get one-inch ragged one hole groups at 200-yds.:D
 
Love mine.
I have a 12fvss in 300wsm. All i did was change the stock to a Bell and Carlson Duramaxx. The thing is more accurate than I can shoot!
All holes in the paper touch at 100 yards with 150 grain ballistic tips...with 180 grain bullets, it opens up a bit more...but still about 1 inch groups.
My accu-trigger breaks nice and clean as well.
Great rifle! Get it!
 
with a fluted bbl, accutrigger, and 26 inch bbl, this rifle competes with, ' you get more than you pay for' the cz rifles. No prob here in recommending.
 
Thanks Boys!

I like .308W but in Spain is very expensive (20 rounds 24 Euros...) and the powder to reload ammo 36 euros 1/2 Kg...

I need a cheap rifle and with cheap ammo too. The .223 is cheaper than
.308W (20 rounds 15 euros)

Anybody want Spanish boy in his house???:D ;)
 
I have what is basically a Savage 10FPLE2A and with the GMM or my handloads it is 1/4~1/2 MOA.....that should tell you something! That equates to 1/4 in groups to 1/2in groups at 100 yards. Great rifle got it for cost because it was a special order a guy never came to get.
 
Hey Otto, .223 is a great choice for targets, and light hunting like varmints so yeah, go for .223 if you want to shoot affordably! I have 4 rifles in .223 and love them all. 3 AR's and a nice cheapo H&R Super Varmenter.
 
Savage makes excellent rifles. If you use a quality scope, a Savage will be as accurate as any rifle on the market. And the Accutrigger is awesome.

I love mine. Its a model 110, in .30-06 Springfield, and I installed a RamLine stock.

I've got an old model 110 in .22-250, a M12 in .223, a new M12 in .204r, and a M93 in .17hmr (pictured below).


Just finished the .204, blued action, heavy barrel in the factory laminate 'b' type stock, with a Weaver KT15 scope. Can't wait for the weather to break so I can see how it shoots :)

Love 'em all :)

Anyone seen a source for a good replacement stock for a Model 10 .308 "left hand"? I looked all over last night and the only thing I could find was that ugly Choate thing.

Regards,
Dave
 
WOOOW

Fantastic rifles guys!

Now I´m looking for a dealer in Spain but I think there isn´t ,maybe in Italy...:fire:
 
"Anyone seen a source for a good replacement stock for a Model 10 .308 "left hand"? I looked all over last night and the only thing I could find was that ugly Choate thing."

I take exception to that! I just got my Choate stock yesterday. Perhaps it won't matter to you but the Choate stocks have a HUGE milled aluminum frame under all that plastic. Seriously they feel like a tank yet weigh "only 4 lbs". McMillan stocks are semi-custom and I'd bet you they would be willing to make you one. Just beware the price. Last time I checked, their A5 stock for the Savage model 10 was over $400.00!

Another idea that comes to me is that Boyds gunstocks are wood laminates which you could likely modify for lefty use. Sadly they would have bolt notches on both sides but they cost nearly $200.00 less than McMillans.
 
About that left-hand stock....

Dave;

As one lefty to another, I understand your frustration with most industry suppliers when it comes us southpaws.

Try

www.boydboys.com

since I recall seeing some lefthand stocks there. I might even want to change the synthetic on my 116 in .338, except that it's so danged accurate that it's scary! "If it ain't broke..."

Good luck in your search.
 
Just took my own advice, and checked at Boyd's..

The Boyd JRS is a handsome sporter-style stock, and is available for the M10 left-hand Savage. The lefthanders have NO bolt-handle cut, not "both right and left". Since the stock takes some finishing work anyway, it's no biggie to make the cut for the handle.

Cost starts at about $75, it looks like.
 
Speaking of left handed bolts, I had a Savage model 110CL, the left being for left handed. It was a great gun in .243 and as with almost all other guns I no longer have, I wish I still had it. Now I have this Savage.

I have a 10FP-LE2B (now called the 10FP McMillan) and it has performed very well with factory match grade ammo (.308WIN). Haven't reloaded for that caliber just yet.

If precision is your game, you might want to also consider the new models 12 Long Range Precision Varminter and 12F Class or F/TR Target Rifles. The regular Savage rifles will have the AccuTriggers that can be adjusted from 6-1½ pounds. The 12LRs and Fs will have the new Target AccuTrigger which will be adjustable from 2 pounds down to 6 ounces. The 12LR will have a 1" cylinder bull barrel.

Rockstar - no offense intended!! :) I'm just sort of a traditionalist. I would be interested in hearing what your experiences are.

Thanks for the link to Boyds!!

Can somebody tell me about the best ammo (.223) for this kind of rifles(bolt action?

What do you "put" in your hand loads (Primmer, powder, bullet...)?

Thanks boys

What is your contry's policy - about buying Firearms by Mail Order?

Just wondered, since where I live - you have to buy them at a Gun Shop after a background check. Brady Bill and all....

I believe that you can get a better deal than that over at Grice Gun Shop.

http://www.gricewholesale.com/shop.php

They sell everything that Winchester made, Remington makes and also Savage.

Usually have better prices than everyone else - except some chain stores - on generic Firearms. Check out all the special run Firearms in their inventory.
 
Hi The Rifleman!

What is your contry's policy - about buying Firearms by Mail Order?
Click to expand...
In my country( Spain) if you have firearms you are like a criminal( in the public opinion ) and we are not allowed to buy by order mail firearms or esential parts...:fire: .

For example if you buy a rifle in a Gun shop ,you can´t take your rifle in this moment you need to have a license to have a firearms in Spain.Your rifle be in your house in 1 one more or less...

We are not allowed to buy firearms out of Spain and if you want to buy a firearms you need to do more things( money, burocratics papers,) than if you buy in Spain.

In fact nobody buy out of Spain..

But thanks for the info ;)

Bye!
 
hksw "The regular Savage rifles will have the AccuTriggers that can be adjusted from 6-1½ pounds."

The standard Savage Accutrigger is adjustable from 2.5-6#
The LE Accutrigger is 1.5-6# adjustable.
As much as I love my Savage 10FP-LE-2 I'm sad to say that the accutrigger can't be adjusted to minimum and expected to allow speedy bolt manipulation without decocking the bolt. I had to bring mine up to 2# to get the bolt to operate properly.

dmftoy1 No offense taken! As much as restocking is brought up, I have to admit that my rifle has been submoa from the getgo with the flimsy Savage plastic stock. My main reason to go with the Choate (aside from price) was because it was heavier at the butt and has side mounted countersunk sling swivels. When I tried to carry my 10FP slung over my shoulder the barrel kept pitching backwards digging the bolt knob and buttstock into my backside. With the Choate stock the rifle hangs more vertically and with the flat side of the stock comfortably against my back. Plus the vertical pistol grip is more comfortable for me due to an old injury to my shooting arm. After restocking it I found that having my standard military shooting sling on the left side of the rifle made looping up my left arm faster and more comfortable. Plus an unexpected benifit was that the rifle doesn't want to tip once the sling is tight.

After handling a stock with countersunk sling swivels. I think most shooters would "convert" to that setup. For shooters looking for a less "tactical" setup I'd recommend the Boyds stocks and I'd hire a smith to countersink my sling swivels on the support arm side.
