[QUOTE="IceSniper, post: 107237, member: 2286"] 30-06, If you buy a Savage M10/110 you won't regret it! I brought a M10FP in .308win in august last year. I never used any kind of barrel breakin procedure and accuracy with Remmy 150gr core-locks was about 1MOA for the first 100rnds (about 15 cleanings). After that, the barrel seemed to settle and I loaded some 168gr matchkings, Accuracy then droped under 0.5moa with favored loads at 100y. ...now for the stocks.... The main problem is the fore-end flexes and touches the barrel when given a slight squezze, which wouldn't be good for accuracy. but it's easy to fix with some wet and dry sand paper. I also heard that epoxying a couple of old ford 351ci push rods (said to be an ideal leangth) into the channels under the barrel works great for stiffening the fore-end. Also the Length of Pull is pretty short and could be nasty in .300mag if your tall (I'm 6'4" and with my scope all the way forward it was still brushing my eyebrow under .308 recoil, I now have a 2" thick sillicon pad taped to my recoil pad for length [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ). In closing, From what i have read and personally found, The savage will shoot just as good or better with hand loads than the remington for 1/2 the price. Also i might add that apart from Remmy 150gr core-lokts my M10fp wouldn't shoot Any factory ammo well, second best was Winchester 168gr BST's and they averaged 2" at 100y for 5 shots. 180gr Power-points were UNBELIEVABLE with 3x 3shot groups averaging 6" at 100y [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] anyone else experienced this?
