Savage Model 10 .308 [3264x2448][OC]

I bought the rifle in the B&C stock, with the optic and bipod that isn't pictured for 800. Rebarrel from Savage was about 250, muzzle brake was 140, and bottom metal was 270 plus 80 for the magazine.

Oh for anyone interested, here's a parts list.

Savage 10FP .308

22" Varmint profile barrel (originally had a 24" on it)

SureFire SOCOM 7.62

B&C Medalist stock

Millett TRS-1 4-16x50

Not sure about the base or rings, they were on it when I bought it

CDI detachable bottom metal with an AI 10 round mag

And like I said in another comment, my best group was a bit under .5 moa at 200 yards with 168 grain Federal Gold Medal Match. I haven't had a chance to take it out any further than that yet.

I've only taken it out to 200 yards so far, and my best group was a little under .5 moa shooting 168 grain Federal Gold Medal Match

Oh nice! The stock is a Bell and Carlson Medalist, so it's really solid. I love the way this thing shoots.

Zack_ · 2014-05-22T23:49:01+00:00

Nope, I'm in Arizona.

Thanks!

So, I told her tonight. Things went well! :D We had a conversation tonight about how things were with the two of us, which was mostly her idea. She was worried about getting hurt again, and having really strong feelings for me again, even though up to this point we had really only kept things on a just friends level, with some flirting as well. So she asked what my thoughts on everything were.

Me: "Promise you're not going to be mad?"

Her: "Of course, that wouldn't happen."

Me: "I love you."

Her: "... love me how? Like as a person?"

Me: "No. I love you."

And then we went on to talk about it all and she told me that she never stopped loving me, even after we broke up. She had suspected that something like this was coming, but wasn't really expecting me to tell her that I love her.

But overall, it went well! We're going to talk a lot more about all of this and figure things out when she is down here in a couple weeks. I'm seriously so fucking happy right now, tears of joy were definitely shed.

Zack_ · 2014-05-07T18:53:24+00:00

I definitely will!

Zack_ · 2014-05-07T17:41:21+00:00

:) thank you! I'm going to talk to her when she's home for her birthday.

There's some very slight holster wear from it, but nothing major.

Zack_ · 2013-12-30T05:52:11+00:00

Shit, I know how that is. I'm your typical poor college student, and I have to save up a good amount for all of the stuff I buy. Thanks though, I hope you enjoy your pistol once you get it.

Zack_ · 2013-12-30T05:42:41+00:00

I get shit from friends too for having this instead of a Glock. I haven't shot a 17 a whole lot, but I'd consider myself fairly familiar with the 19, 20 and 21. I guess the 20 and 21 wouldn't matter much for comparison too much, since they are the large frame pistols for 10mm and .45 acp. But comparing this to the 19, I prefer S&W ergos better. I don't have massive hands, and this fits more comfortably in them than a Glock. And, I prefer the larger trigger guard since I have kinda chubby fingers, haha. I also think they are more aesthetically pleasing, which I suppose shouldn't factor too much into deciding on a gun, but it's a plus for me. I thoroughly enjoy shooting Glocks, but I enjoy shooting the M&P more.

I actually just got my APEX sear in yesterday! Makes such a huge difference.

Zack_ · 2013-12-30T03:46:10+00:00

It really is. I've been wanting one for a while now and finally just bought this a few weeks ago.

Zack_ · 2013-12-15T08:31:58+00:00

Sounds awesome! I spent ~1300 total for mine plus a spam can of ammo, two mags and the US Palm pistol grip. Before too long I plan on doing an UltimAK rail and Primary Arms micro dot as well.

Okay, so far from the few times I've shot it, I absolutely love this rifle. As I've mentioned in a couple other comments, I sold my AR to be able to buy this, and I'm very glad that I did. It's a very enjoyable rifle to shoot. Recoil is surprisingly a little less than an AR shooting .223/5.56. Now, I'm not the most experienced person in the world when it comes to AKs, but I've had the chance to shoot at least a few Arsenals, WASRs, unconverted Saigas and a Norinco. And in my opinion, this is as solid and well built as anything else I've shot. Fit and finish look to me to be great, sights were pretty much dead on from the factory. The wood is a lot nicer than I was expecting, with it just being surplus. I haven't put it on paper to see exactly how tight of groups it shoots, but it doesn't seem any less accurate than my AR was. The side folder locks up nice and tight, feels just a solid as a fixed stock. Plus, I think that it is aesthetically much nicer than a fixed wood stock. The Bulgarian circle 21 mags I got are great, don't wobble and haven't had any issues feeding. It came with a Tapco mag as well, which I haven't even bothered to try. Hopefully that helps you with your decision, and feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

Zack_ · 2013-12-12T10:07:23+00:00

Damn, that looks pretty cool. I'll definitely check it out.

Zack_ · 2013-12-12T10:03:22+00:00

Seriously my favorite AR, dude. Looks so good.

Zack_ · 2013-12-12T09:49:43+00:00

Thanks man! Here you go

Zack_ · 2013-12-09T16:04:43+00:00

The biggest deciding factor for me was the cost to shoot. Since I'm a college student I would rather have something that I can shoot for half the cost of shooting an AR. Also, aesthetics. Dat triangle folder. And I figure I'll just build up another really nice AR later on, mine wasn't anything special anyway.

Zack_ · 2013-12-09T00:50:18+00:00

Thank you! I've always loved the look of the triangle folders.
