Savage 10FCP-K .308 chamber deminsions

Ever get that rifle sent in?

Yep sent the rifle in and Savage replaced the barrel as it seems the chamber was out of spec.
They also shot the rifle with the new barrel on their 100 yard range and the target they sent shows a .6 moa 5 shot group!
Also now I can chamber a factory round without the bullet touching the lands.
Savage customer service is the best i have ever experienced, and they really do care about the customer and their products.
Thanks Savage.

I have the same problem with a Model 10 FCP-SR in .308. I measured with a Hornady OAL gauge and 168 gr SMK is touching lands at 2.690. Only took rifle out for first time last weekend and noticed bolt was tight closing. Checked bullet after loading and you could see the rifling marks on bullet. Guess I'm going to be calling Savage too.

Just got rifle back from Savage paperwork says they polished chamber. Well that was not even the problem, still have rifling marks and still measures 2.690 to lands. Guess I will call them back again.....

My 10 fcp 5r had the same problem. I couldnt eject a Fed GMM unfired round without leaving bullet in barrel. I had took many measurements with the Hornady OAL guage before I had done this and I was convinced that bullet was going about .0025 into lands. I called Savage and talked to a lady and she insisted that I remove scope mount base screws and file 1/32 off of em. I told her I really felt that to be a waste of time but she insisted that I try and call her back. I agreed to give it a try and low and behold I can now cycle FedGMM. I have not been able to take measurements since I filed the screws but I have spent a day at the range and put 100 rounds down the tube. At 100yrds I was consistently shooting .5 to .75 five shot groups. When I do measure, if I find it to be short I think I will leave it because it seems to shoot very well.
