Range Report Savage Model 10 FCP-SR 308 Range report.

Well I picked up my Savage Friday. Had my local gun store to mount and bore sight in the scope. Took it to the range yesterday and my first 3 shot group was 4 inches low @100yds. Windage was dead on. So I came up 1mil and 1 click and was hitting dead center and my groups could be covered with a dime. And that was shooting cheap PMC 168gr Sierra Match King bullets. I shot some really cheap Private Partizan 168gr match ammo and still got a 1" 3 shot group@100yds.

Love how the rifle shoots and love the scope. Did have a problem with the magazine. With it clicked all the way in, I still have to push up on it a tad to get the bolt to strip a round from the mag. Gonna call Savage today and see about getting a replacement mag. Other than that, I love the rifle.

Its hard to beat the out of the box accuracy of a Savage for the money. On your magazine feeding issue, you may have to spread the lips open some to get the top round to ride a little higher.

I loved mine. it would shot .3" groups repeatedly but was more of a solid 1/2 moa gun. it loved the 178's and 43grs of IMR 4064.

I would have about a 3" vertical spread at 1000 yards, windage...........um........not so much. my wind calling ability is not the greatest but even at that it would print 1 moa groups at 1000 and that's only because of me.

I took that action and rebarreled it to a 260 Remington.

for the feeding issues, try the above first before sending it off to Savage. I will say their customer service was phenomenal. the first rifle I got had a damaged crown and they shipped me a brand new rifle a week later.

I will try that. If that doesn't work. I'll call and see if they'll just send me another mag....I want to start working up some hand loads for it soon.

I've got the left hand version and one of my friends has the right hand those mags suck so bad. When I'm hunting I only load 3 rounds cause I don't trust the mag to work when needed. Other than that I love mine glad to see some more fcp on the board
