texgal--just wondering how you got your hands on the 110 BA. All of the distributors I've spoken with have told me that they won't become available until March or April.
For the money, I'd actually go w/the Armalite AR-30 in .338.
But I do loves me some salvage rifles... my 18.5" folder has long been my favorite gun to take to the range with my Thundertrap.
I had the opportunity to shoot both the 338 Lapua and 300 Win Mag this past November along with some other Savages. The new BA's shot nice, accurate and smooth.
If someone is interested in buying one (seriously interested) Id be willing to sell you one for well under retail (brand new), PM me and Ill give you a price. I can only get one though, Im not a dealer.
Ill definitely be getting one for myself, love my Savage 12FV 308 and MKII practice gun.

I like the Savage BA line up, but I wish they hadn't discontinued the 110 FCP-K in .300 Win. Mag. in the process. The BA's are a bit radical, and won't appeal to everyone. Also, they are much more expensive. Now, if you want a .300 Win. Mag. in a Tactical rifle from Savage, you've got the BA's, and that's it. I like more traditional Tactical rifles. I'm really glad I purchased my .300 Win. Mag. 110 FCP-K when I did. Bill T.
I got to play with a bas 308, it felt really really good! The price is ridiculous though. The trigger is a huge step up from the 12 300wsm I have, stock had a nice design. I wanted one but found to good is a deal on a 5r.

Bill have you tried the Savage Custom Shop for the rifle that you described? They will likely make it. Ask for Effie.
You guys are really making me want one of these. I threw up a thread asking if anyone has shot both the AR-30 and the 110BA but no responses yet.
I am looking to get one in 300 win mag but wouldn't pass up a good deal on the 338 either. Beautiful looking guns and I have heard great reviews on both of them.
We had a Savage day here at our range. We all got a chance to shoot the BA 110. Three of our employees each bought one! We thought they shot great! We only shot out to 400 yards but everyone was dead nuts on! If you like the looks (I do) you should go for it.
