[QUOTE="veriest1, post: 542876, member: 17414"] I have been under the impression that the 208's need a chamber with a longer throat than SAAMI specs and a minimum of 24 or 26 inches of barrel to really benefit from them. At that point the long range ballistics look really good and it wouldn't cost much to have my smith do the work since the 10's all seem to have 1:10 twist barrels. I want to get some more trigger time before I bother shooting the better bullets though. gun) Has anyone even shot anything other than paper at 700+ yards with the 208 Amax from a .308? I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be with that just looking at the numbers. Concerning the Savage 10 fcp-k. I'm pretty settled on it being the best bang for the buck. Savage lists the barrel as 24" but it has a break and a lot of the Savages list the break in the barrel length. Can anyone confirm the true length of the 10 fcp-k barrel? The standard 10-fp does list a 24" barrel so... who knows? I guess it doesn't matter a whole lot though. Is there another Savage model I should look at in .308 and under $1000 for off the shelf performance? All the numbers and letters run together on me. If not I'll probably order a 10 fcp-k sometime this week. [/QUOTE]
