Just bought a Savage 10FCP 300WSM

Guys,

I just bought a Savage 10FCP 300WSM for $659.00 at Cabela's in Dundee MI.

It is a Cabela's Special with the Choate Tactical Stock and their DBM.

I went in looking for a Rem. 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD in 308. The had the SPS Varmint in 308 with 1 in 12 barrel, I wanted the 1 in 10 twist barrel. Then I saw the Savages.

At first the guy told me it was a 300 Win Mag. I looked at it and passed initially looked at a Howa then left. I was sitting in the car and tried to google up something on the

Savage on the web, found nothing on the 300win mag, (which I thought it was) but realized the parts we at least worth the money. I went back and looked at it again and realized it was a short action 300WSM.

I figured at that price I can't go wrong. If I don't like the 300wsm I can rebarrel for something I do. Plus everything done to this rifle I would have done to the Rem 700 SPS AAC-SD, Stock, DBM, Bolt knob, which would have cost close to a grand. This is basically done at $700 out the door.

I can't find anything on this model on the web. Found on link to one sold online Cabelas gun library but no specs. I D/L ed their 2012 catalog and can find a 300wsm in a 12fp but not a 10FCP.

I'm guessing the barrel is a 1 in 10 from thier catalog but I dont know. Looks like the DBM will only hold 2 300WSM. are there other magzines available for this rifle?

Anybody know anything about it?

Thanks in advance

all their 300wsm's are 1/10 twist. z71rat here on the hide makes custom mags, you should send him a message.

Interesting, we don't have a Cabela's anywhere near here, but I definitely would have taken a look at one of those. I ended up getting the 110FCP .300 mag with the HS stock. Thought long and hard about the VLP in .300 WSM, but it wasn't in stock when I was ready to buy.

You are right that the barrel is 1-10".

Nice, any chance of getting pics up? I've been thinking of a WSM build.

I have pretty much the same rifle, but have done it one piece at a time from a base model 11. I run the rat-mags that z71 makes, and they are great.7 rounds of 300 WSM, and use the factory bottom metal.

I use Alpha mags for my 300WSM with an aftermarket bottom metal. There are many options available for you as to customizing the Savage, on my 300WSM I had changed everything but the barrel (it had an aftermarket trigger, but I took it off to use on another build and put the accutrigger back on). Your rifle should be basically the same as the rifle I bought, except mine was a stainless and your is blued, your 300WSM should easily be able to shoot sub MOA like mine.
