Kimber 84M LPT (Light Patrol Tactical). The very last rifle I would sell.

Noticed no one mentioned a Howa 1500. What is everyone's opinion on their scoped packages with the fluted heavy barrel?

I target shoot with a Remington Model 700 .308/5R and its a shooter

Change of plan. After shooting two Savages this past weekend my mind is made up. Model 110/10 FCP HS Precision 300 Win Mag all the way.

I was quite impressed - great accuracy!

NICE

I was going to second (third, fourth, fifth, whatever) the notion on the FCP-k which is what I bench shoot with but I see you've already made your decision. I know you wont be dissapointed

.

Just curioius, any particular reason you chose 300 win mag?

MrGoodwrench,
Shooting the Model 110/10 FCP HS Precision 300 just impressed the heck out of me. I'm sure the FCP-k would as well. At this point neither is out of the question

Whether .308 or 300..I have some time to think about that too (tax return $$ buying it). Tough decisions..but great options.

No question you will love your Savage, whatever you shoot out of it!
All the best.

Howa 1500s are usually very accurate rifles. I don't like "package" deals because they usually come with a crappy scope, or at least a scope that I wouldn't choose for my rifle.

nice choice! it was down to the savage and remington 700 for me, and i went the other way in the end. i really like the short bull barrel on the sps tactical aac model. a little lighter and more maneuverable lets me lug it around a little easier.

Last week I assembled my new XLR chassis to my Savage 10FCP-K and took it to the range to zero it in. Here's the result at 115 yards. I used Federal GMM 168gr BTHP ammo.

Will be going a lot farther after I get some experience with reloading.
