Last friday I picked up a Savage 10 Precision Carbine 223. Also had a Bushnell 4-12 mounted up top. I really wanted a higher quality optic but this will have to do for now. Eventually I'll upgrade and pass this one down to my .22 Savage.

The new rifle has a 20" heavy barrel 1-9", large bolt handle, detachable 4 rd magazine, accutrigger, and the accustock. I wasn't to keen on the camo pattern stock but its kind of growing on me.

Need some ammo...Chris is the man around here for that right?

Very sexy lead slinger. Congrats.

Nice rifle.

With a 1 in 9 twist barrel 62 grain bullets should fly pretty nice.

Schweeeeet!

If you're looking for factory ammo the first I would try would be Hornady loaded with 55gr. v-max. My Stevens .223 does three shots at 3/8" at 100 yds.


That said it puts American Eagle 62 gr. SP's under 1" at 100 yds. These Savage rifles are shooters. Have fun with it.

Yea, Im pretty excited. The local outdoor range is closed for the next two weekends, Christmas & New Years. Looks like I have 3 weeks to accumulate some ammo

20 rd. box of 223...perfect stocking stuffer, lol.

I have the exact same rifle sitting in my safe waiting optics. I can't wait till I can afford a decent scope so I can take it out and slay some prarrie dogs this spring. :evil:
