    Savage Precision Carbine 308

    Just wanted to report that the problem was remedied. I looked at the threads under good light but couldn't see anything. I assumed it was roughness or residue from bluing so I oiled and brushed and rethreaded many times. Eventually I got movement and she screws on like a dream now...

    Savage Precision Carbine 308

    Thanks. I actually just picked it up yesterday and I keep hearing more and more good things. Haven't taken it to the range yet, but I've pulled the trigger a few times and love it. I agree about the stock. It may be free float and sturdy enough to use a bipod without making contact, but it's...

    Haha, let me hit 500 first. Thanks for the tips, I'll check out the viper. I looked over a few of their models a while back but...memory...faded. That's impressive accuracy from your hand loads. Did you ever test out any factory loads?

    Interesting take, but I don't have need for a truly lightweight field gun at the moment. I've heard a few other reports of trigger problems as well, fingers crossed. Thanks for the info on the FGMM 175s. I've just ordered a couple of boxes.

    ^the 180+ question is mostly just curiosity. I'm probably going to follow 346ci's advice.

    Savage Precision Carbine 308

    I'm glad to see I was on the right tract with FGMM. I'm also happy with 175gr responses. Anyone try heavier slugs? I've seen some 180gr and 185gr, but less available/popular. Thanks for the info all.

    Savage Precision Carbine 308

    This is sort of a thread highjacking, but I feel justified because it would be useful to others considering the 10PC. I've got the 10 pc in .308 on the way to my local FFL, and I was hoping to get a jumpstart on load selection. So here's my set up summary and what I'm hoping to do: 10 PC...
