New Dick's Sporting Goods Package - "Model 11 VT"

[blaster62]

Digger: To stabilize a 69 gr 1.0 long bullet in a 1in 10 you have to go 3000 fps to get a GC of 1.11 if that helps.

Hub do you have any pictures of that I would love to see it. Or did I miss them in the posts??

I don't have any but I'll try to take some on my phone.

Cool

Dirt Digger to my knowledge the VT only comes in .223 or .308. Hub, Duncan thanks. I do like the platform and for what I want I think it will work just fine. Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket ten round mags for this series of rifle?

They do come in other calibers other than 223&308. As Hubcap mentioned there are 22-250s out there and as I said in my first post (#106) I purchased one last week in .243 Win. If someone is aware of other chamberings please chime in, I 'm curious as probably are others.

I appreciate the info Blaster! I think it is quite doable with 22-250 then. Do you mind sharing the link to that program/formula for calculation? PM me please to not clog this thread. Thank you!

As far as I know the 11VT comes in .223, .22-250, .243 & .308 although no one at the store level can confirm that for me. I would be all about one if there was a .204. If anyone knows for sure and if so can confirm a model number or SKU that would be appreciated.

Ok I did it! I went and bought the VT11in .308 yesterday at Dicks. Thanks for the tip on opening the Dicks account I got 10% off too so not bad for $494.00. Now trying to decide on first mod. Harris bipod or single rail scope mount? I am going to start ordering the parts to convert to the metal trigger guard and drop out mags real soon too. Being new here I do appreciate y'alls knowledge and input. I know it's only a 550 dollar rifle but it's still a big purchase for me and I feel like I got the best rifle for my money. Hub I would still like to see your rifle.

Watching some youtube videos I came across this Austrailian guy reviewing what I believe was an 110FCP-S. It looked like it had factory detachable mags. I looked on the website and they have a FCP-K and I swore they had a picture of it with a detachable 10 round mag. does anyone know about these and if it's on the same 110 chassis can you do the trigger housing upgrade and just use factory savage mags??

Sorry it took me so long, I've been out of town for a while. But here she is.

Guy at the local gun shop told me today that a couple weeks ago DSG put the 10P-SR on sale for $419....!

[dirtdigger]

Did you mean 10 FP-SR? I haven't seen P-SR on Savage's site unless I missed it or it is another distributer exclusive out there? If so do you have more info on it?

[BoilerUP]

Nope, 10P-SR...http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Savage_Arms_10P_308_18_5R_Threaded_Heavy_Barrel_W_ p/gun-22076.htm

I've never seen that, but I like it!

[twrecks]

Hub, That's awesome. hope ya don't mind but I'm copying that one. That's exactly what I'm looking to do.

I have personally seen .223, .22-250, .308 and heard about .243. Wish there was a .204

You know I have skimmed through all 10 pages of this thread and one thing amazes me. Nobody has mentioned what Dick's did after Newtown and that is pulled all the AR type rifles they were selling from the shelves and also screwed a bunch of their customers who were waiting for IIRC, Daniel Defense rifles.

I have considered them the enemy ever since, along with price gouging and similar acting Cheaper Than Dirt. I really don't care if the rest of the membership here wouldn't boycott them, just curious as to whether or not everybody making these purchases is aware of what they've done?

[Sitting Duck]

So . . . have they put them back? If so, I guess it was a knee-jerk reaction to what was happening at the time. DSG's firearm sales are a very small portion of what they sell. In the big picture did they over react? It sounds like it. Lesson learned, we hope.

I bought my rifle from DSG because they had the best price on a Savage heavy barreled .308 and I wanted to get in under any stupid-ass laws that were being bandied about at the time. If they start financially supporting the pro-gun control activists then I will not step foot in their doors again. Until then, I will spend my money as frugally as possible.

It sounds to me like you are all butt hurt because you think you and other waiting for this IIRC Daniel Defense gun. I am certainly not going to change your mind but Dick's is a sporting goods store that happens to sell guns. When they opened locally here they used to take trades and they used to sell handguns. Now they are basically a sporting goods WalMart that sells guns. They are a big corporation that did a knee jerk reaction to an awful (and somewhat debatable false) situation.

As I mentioned they are a big corporation and because of that they have exclusive guns (just like Gander Mountain, Cabelas and others) from manufacturers. This thread isn't about what Dick's did and how they screwed you or your presumed "price gouging". I am sure if you look other places on the forum you might find a thread or a pot to stir up.

Everyone has felt the "pain" of Newtown one way or another. Had Dick's not pulled the "modern sporting firearms" they would have been out of stock in days if not hours and perhaps even on any other semi automatic rifle they sell. The end result would have been the same.

So sorry you got screwed.
