Savage 10FCP

[osiris]

Hey guys

I just got me a Savage 10FCP With the Choate Tactical Stock
I got this coming for it
Harris Bipod 9-13", EGW 20MOA Picatinny Rail, Burris Xtreme 1" Tactical Low Rings.
Also planing on getting a Karsten Adjustable Cheekpiece.

I'm going to be getting me a Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 in Mildot scope, suggestions are welcome, but I been doing some research on this scopes and they have a good warranty(lifetime warranty), scratch/weather/water/fog proof, and they seem to be great glass for the money.

After I break in the barrel and get comfortable with it, I want to get a muzzle brake on it, open to suggestions.
Also thinking about possibly doing a glass bed job on it, this also after getting to know and getting comfortable with the rifle and proper break in.


I'm wondering if anybody that has this rifle could give me some tips or suggestions as far as what grain do this usually like to shoot, as well as any good info that may be I should know.

Thank you guys ahead of time.

Re: Savage 10FCP

My 10fp was a bit stubborn when trying to find a load for it. Eventually I found that 45gr of Varget and 168 SMK shot the best. I would like to try some 155's in it someday.

I cut the 26" tube back to 20 inches and installed a Badger Thruster on it. As far as break in proceedures go, I did like all my factory guns. Simply gave the barrel a swabbing with JB's bore paste before shooting to help smooth the bore, about 75 strokes with a tight patch and then shoot it and shoot it somemore.

Original....

After Krylon and barrel bobbing....

100yd 5 shot groups....

Savage 10 FCP McMillan. The one on the back.

You can't go wrong with 175 SMK's and 155 Scenars with Varget.
