Looking to get my first long range rifle. What do you think of a Savage 10 FCP-K with a Bushnell 4200 6-24x50mm Tactical with Mildot reticule? Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.
Thanks

I would say that is exactly what i would do if i was beginning. Only i would probably get a Super Sniper 3-9x42. I got one now and i love it.

I think you're definately on track with the rifle! The Savage 10FP series can't be for a factory rifle! For a scope in that price range I would suggest a Vortex Viper 6.5-20X50 mil dot. Absolutely awesome scope for the money!

Remmy SPS with that scope would be nice, I've used both and they both function great and also easy to upgrade.

i agree with the rem 700, unlimited potential. Also the super snipers are exellent scopes. The fixed 10x is a great starter scope. prices are cheap, and usually the sps out of the box can shoot very well with very little work.

I am also just getting into this long range shooting thing, but have been around firearms a long time. I would say you are on the right track with your options. I love Savage rifles and have not found one to shoot bad. As far as your optic choice I dont think your going wrong there either.

remington 5r with a quality optic would be a good way to start

1+ on the 5R, if you have the funds, a REALLY good starter.
