Don't know if this is common knowledge yet but the FCP-K rifles are no longer being produced. There seem to be some remaining in stock/supply but those will assuredly dry up.

I just purchased one (FLCP-K) because it seemed to be a (reportedly) good shooting, well featured LH .308 bolt rifle.

Legitimately a little choked up. Savage had a lot of good south-paw options and a lot of more unique and interesting rifles, and now...gone. Its like millions of rifles cried out in terror, and were then silent.

That hurts. I just bought a FLCp because the threaded and heavy barrel. Also i heard it is a pretty good shooter straight out of the box. Which it is.

Savage was the only company out there with some real choices for lefties.

I have a 223 and 308 version and love them both. Mine are both leftys and as stated above its one of the only ways to get a lefty heavy barrel rifle at a decent price. My 223 shoots under .4" 3 shot groups and the 308 is not far behind either.

I am glad I got mine already !!

The 10FCPK is one of the best packages out there with the fluted and threaded barrel installed with a muzzle brake, dbm, accustock, oversized bolt knob and 20moa base. This discontinuing only leads me to believe that there will be a new rifle coming out.

I have one and it is an easy 1/4 rifle, sometimes better, shot well with accu-stock but I didnt like the plastic feel so I put an hs stock on it and skim bedded it.

Just spoke for a new FCP-K in .308 and recently found one slightly used in .300 Win Mag I just bought as well. I've had the .223 version for a year or so now and it shoots awesome.

I didn't know they at one time made a FCP-K in .300 Win Mag until just a few months ago, but as soon as I learned that the hunt was on! :)

This idea crossed my mind as well. The fact that they are closing them out at a reduced price swayed me to getting one now rather than fence sitting and having nothing.

If they release something new/truly better I'm stuck with a great rifle. If they do not, I still have a great rifle.

I'll take a stab at this, the new owners don't want you Joe Blow Gunsmiths working on their rifles w/ after-market parts. Great American rifle down the tubes.

I knew this was coming and I made a comment about how things would change as soon as ATK took over. Bean counters only count beans. I'm sure they would just as soon sell 100% axis for $349 than mess with all the other models.
I'm sure that a person could still order from their custom shop. I did and I think I did it just in the nick of time. The stick is a shooter. The price of the rest of my Savage's just went up!

I just bought a FLCPK in .308 great rifle for the money. I was hoping to get one in .223 in the coming months but i would imagine it will be a pain to source one now in europe. That really sux. Savage had some really great stuff for the lefties. I hope they will continue I am now doubtful though. :(

They should have offered more calibers especially in the 260 category, in both LH and RH models. They are way behind on that one. I would have bought a LH 260.

The south paw support is what drew me to Savage, since the last time I've bought rifles Savage was my only left bolt action I could find without going to a kelby, Shilen, bat.... custom action. I don't regret it one bit my two Savage rifles shoot as good as I can ask for.

I don't know how many of the FLCP-K's were made and sold (among the other discontinued models) but I do fear this will limit the development of further after market products, particularly stocks, going forward.

I had planned to live with the Accu-stock on my FLCP-K until I could afford something better. Now? Hmmm.

I bet there are some floating around still. I have seen some pop up lately. Savage shooters usually has some lefties pop up on a regular basis.

I sent in a ticket to see if there was any information and their reply was pretty generic:
"We change models in our catalogue depending on the demand per our sales department. If you want a specific model made. Please call 1-800-370-0708 option 6 and ask for the special order department for pricing."
