    Savage 10 PC 308 carbine shoots good.

    This little 308 carbine shoots good right out of box. I have always went rem. 700's but side by side the savage out shot a stock rem 700 Tactical AAC-SD. Better stock,trigger,bolt handle,accuracy.Added nothing but steel rings and Leopold. I did like the thumb safety setup very positive&smooth. For $739 its a lot of rifle. Mag release is good too. I think Savage stopped production this year of the precision police carbine.A good patrol rifle.

    I've always had good luck with Savage rifles as well. Not sure why they chose to kill off the precision carbine from their line up. Hope they replace it with something similar.

    Why do the loudest do the least?

    Yes the new Remington's are troublesome. To get a 700 Tactical AAC-SD to shoot you have to throw everything out but the action.

    I had heard this before, and thought it was a joke, but it's actually 100% factual in my case.

    well, except the action and bolt.

    I just bought a new Savage 10 FCP-SR. It was less than $620 shipped, and it looks like Savage is offering a $100 rebate... Unbelievable.

    Today I bore-sighted it and put a brake on it. Range report to follow.

    Can you share where you purchased it? That's just what I'm looking for.

    Tooele Shooting Supply.

    There were a couple out there, then there weren't any, and then there were a bunch again. I jumped on a good price when I saw it. When in doubt, just Google "Savage 22442" (that's the SKU).

    Here's the rebate: http://www.savagearms.com/promotions/

    Seems to be a lot like the 10TR, which I have and love it. I got on the wait list, if it is anything like my 10TR it's a winner.
