does anyone own a savage arms rifle?

i was looking at this one:

it looks and feels really nice. i hear they are good to go right out of the box.

edit: i really don't want to spend that much, just want a nice rifle to shoot for fun.

They are usually accurate out of the box, I would go with the FP HS or the McMillan, then get a scope for the kinda shooting you are doing

I have a Ruger .30-06 with composite stock that shoots 1/2" MOA with factory ammo out of the box. It was only around $600. Either I got lucky, or Ruger makes one hell of a gun. I like to think its both.

thats a tad expensive for just a rifle you want to have fun with

exactly... i've been talkin to orca about the remington m700 too... i just don't know what to go with at this point...


what i want... a nice rifle that will shoot accurately ~400 yds +, a nice scope, and a bipod

Look into the Howa 1500. They aer essentially the same as Weatherby actions, are very cheap, and can shoot 1moa no problem. Howa has made them for S&W and Weatherby.

Also you cannot go wrong with a Mauser action of some kind. Remington now carries them as the 798.

i have that exact same package from last year: 10fpxp.

killer setup. wish i could get that stock though. the current stock is while usable, i like the macmillan one better.

lemme know if you are gonna get that one. i found a place that sold it for around $200-300 than everyone else.

the case is killer too! the leupold scope, i priced out to around $600'ish.


edit: dont forget, that is a PACKAGE price. you can still get a rifle by itself. but when i was buying mine, i priced out everything that came in the package and it was SLIGHTY more. by just a few bucks...

you get:

rifle
scope
bipod
scope covers
sling
sling mounts
lockable case (mine was alum. that pix shows a plastic one)

ready to shoot. all you need is ammo. okay, cleaning gear too. targets. etc...

try this place:

then try this place, where i eventually ended up buying from:

they dont list the 10fpxp package, but when i was pricing it out last year, impact guns was selling it for $1600 when i finally picked it up for around $1250...

I have a pre '48 J Stevens 10g. Depending on the year and model you are looking at; quality can vary greatly.
