Savage Ashbury build

[daves6696]

So, I’m extremely new here and just wanted to share the start of my first to be precision rifle.
I got a great deal on a savage 10 Ashbury precision in 6.5 Creedmoor so I put a Nikon FX1000 6-24x50 mrad on it and like it so far- Nikon black one piece Mount with cant and the only other upgrades so far are the Luth-ar mba3 carbine stock and the Harris S bipod.
It’ll go out for coating this week and I’ll update from there.. just wanted to share and see what others think of the Ashbury / savage team?

Good looking rifle and great caliber choice.

Thanks all- I’ve got it out for coatings right now and so excited to start putting lead down range !! I’ll post more when I get it back!

I have one and really like it, Savage calls it a model 10 but it is actually a model 12 target action repeater. Mine was a little rough when I got it so I wiped the bolt raceways dry and cycled the action a few hundred times a day for three days then wiped it out again and gave it a light coating of CLP and it is surprisingly smooth, not as smooth as my TL-2 but close.

Great info I’ll definitely give that a try!

Well...My only question is the cheek riser is so far away from the scope...how you able to see through scope? I have this rifle and ran into similar situation, ended up I bought a cantilever scope mount to bring scope backward.

@Tigrexar do you shoot primarily from the bench? Cuz most people once they move to Prone or other positions tend to wind up a bit further forward on the stock. The only people I've ever seen that want the scope cantilevered *back* were either midgets (literally) or had no neck or shot only from the bench.

I honestly haven’t even put a round through it yet and it’s out for Cerakote- I’ll figure it out when I get out with it

Today I mounted scope again and it fixed the issue...I used to shoot with right arm more extended forward, which pushes rifle away from me and then I feel I need the ring backward, guess I was doing that while mounting the scope
