[stangfish]

I that a countersniper scope?http://www.midwayusa.com/product/112943/counter-sniper-crusader-rifle-scope-30mm-tube-2-16x-44mm-side-focus-dual-illuminated-tactical-distance-ranging-mil-dot-reticle-matte

[brasse]

I have two of these and probably would get another. No shimmer at 25 power in 112 degrees heat. Each click 1/8 MOA

i have that exact brk on mine

The Savage 10TR is nearly perfect as is.

The Accu-Stock feels great, butt pad is better than the Model 16s that I have.

I really like the metal bottom magazine, 1000% better than the plastic Axis/10 and 16 Trophy Hunter models.

The Tactical Trigger is nice, although I like the rounded tactical trigger better.

The JP muzzle brake is AWESOME, reduces recoil to less than my 6.5 Creedmoor, about the same as my 6.8 SPC.

Have not adjusted the Accu-trigger yet. But now that I am going to keep the rifle it will get adjusted down. I like about 2-2.5 pounds.

These are at 200 yards 95 degrees; wind about 8 mph from 160 degrees. Most of shots were Armscore 147 grain, only $18 at the range. Not sure if the are with Bitterroot Valley.

Hi, guys,

I've registered to the forum specificaly because of this thread :eagerness:

Savage 10 TR is (to be) my first precision rifle and I had to wait for the order since February until it finally(!) came to Europe.
I haven't found any proper description nor good pictures online before arrival itself (18.6.).
Now, the rifle is at home and I can share some pics, following telsonman and brasse above.

Here you can find my photos, I hope outter forum link is allowed:

(...otherwise please let me know, I can repost pictures directly later...)

Hope you like it :smug:

Hey I like the specs look good even when not English, and he takes great pics. Looks like the 5R Obermayer rifling got lost in translation:

Jedná se o Savage Arms 10 TR LE, v ráži 308Win:
- 20" těžká hlaveň se závitem na příslušenství (button rifled, twist 1:10)
- AccuStock - duralový full-tang bedding, rozšířené předpažbí se dvěma body pro uchycení nožek/popruhu
- AccuTrigger - stavitelná spoušť s pojistkou v jazýčku spouště
- letmo uložená hlava závěru
- zásobníková šachta, kapacita 4+1
- jednodílná lišta EGW, zřejmě beze sklonu
- taktická páka závěru
- garance nástřelu SubMOA

[smax]

Anyone know if Savage is going to make another run of these? I would really like to have one, but they are out of stock everywhere.

[thomae]

Nice job on the photos, Starosta! You are a quick learner.

[brasse]

I second the great photos. Mine come from my cell phone. Got my bipod today. And a Past recoil pad, so I can try the 168 SMKs.

I had a feeling when we went viral on the 10TR that it would sell out quickly. Already wish I had got a second one.

Looking at better stocks, I like the Stocky's Bobby Hart AccuBlock Long Range Target / Tactical but the Savage is left out of the good stuff.
HS has •PST114 Savage 12, 10FP Heavy Barrels, new 4.40" Screw Spacing, Detachable Magazine version

Thanks, guys, I am glad you like my pics :eagerness:

Savage Arms 10 TR LE, 308Win
- 20" threaded heavy barrel (button rifled, twist 1:10)
- AccuStock - dural full-tang bedding, beaver forend with 2 studs for accessory (bipod, sling)
- AccuTrigger - adjustable trigger (1.5 - 6 pounds) with trigger safety
- floating bolt head
- DBM, capacity 4+1
- one-piece EGW base, 0 MOA
- tactical bolt knob
- SubMOA out-of-the-box guaranteed

I must admit I haven't noticed the "5R Obermayer rifling" at all...

Could it be found among Savage features, concerning barrel?

(Unable to check it by myself right now.)

Picked mine up yesterday. The picatinny base will have to be shipped to me as it wasn't included. I am already getting finish wear on the left side of the tang and operation of the bolt has completely worn through the finish in this area. I haven't shot it yet only operated the bolt to kind of break it in as it felt pretty rough right out of the box. It smoothed up a lot after operating the bolt for a while. The tang is free floated except for a small spot touching right behind the bolt handle. It should be a pretty simple fix. Other than these minor things I'm very happy with it so far. It seems like a lot of gun for the money. It'll probably take a couple of weeks to get some glass on it and get to the range.

[brasse]

Got my EGW 109150 rail today, that was fast.

[brasse]

Shooting my Norma 150GR today. I ordered 10 boxes from Midway, came to $22.27 per box.

Took the stock off while at the range, adjusted the Accutrigger to minimum. I was amazed that when the stock was put back on it shot 4 inches left and 4 inches high. Just two bullets later shooting bulls eyes.

But I did shoot some nice groups less than a quarter at 100 yards.

[Starosta]

brasse: Was taking the stock off without any problem, following user manual?
The POI was moved only for first two shots? Sounds strange for me...

[brasse]

Just two screws using an allen wrench. One in front of the magazine latch and one underneath the trigger bolt release slide. Comes right off. These Accustocks do not have the old wedge of the early Accustocks.

I adjusted the scope very quickly, next shot was only half an inch off after adjusting, was level with bulls eye but still half an inch left. Next shot was dead on.

But with less trigger pull (don't have a scale) guessing about 2 pounds, my groups were much better.

I also added a Kick-Ezz stick on stock cheek pad, guess it reduced my cheek pulse that drives my crazy.

Guess after 122 rounds through it the barrel is broken in. I will be shooting 40 rounds each time I take it to the range. I put a bi-pod on it, don't like shooting from it.

But I can highly recommend the Norma USA TAC Ammunition 308 Winchester 150 Grain Full Metal Jacket. Still available at Midway. If I can shoot sub MOA with it you can too.

Going to put my EGW rail from Savage on. It is much higher quality than the cheap rail I am using.

[Starosta]

brasse: Thanks for very inspiring post you made :smug:
I missed that you adjusted scope after reinstalling the stock - now I get it.

I won't be afraid of taking the stock off and adjusting the trigger too, but...
I'll have to get US size of allen wrench first - quite rare round here - and in combination with torque wrench it could still be work for someone with better equipment :confused:

Thanks for mentioning Kick-Eez cheek protector - and this is a big Yes: I do fight with my heart pulse a lot shooting with my .22 "precision rifle".
So, is the impact on pulse transmission reduction really significant?
Anyway, have to check my scope height first - my stock should be adjusted corresponding to required cheek height first - but good to know this product and your experience.

About ammo:
Norma 150grs is probably unavailable in Czech Rep. (at least I googled none) but I have already bought some Sako 168grs HPBT so I hope it will be good enough :smug:
Cartriges will be used for reloading to achieve even better level of accuracy and first few tens will be "wasted" on scope adjustments and dutiful break-in.
At least that's my future plan :rolleyes: ...together with necessity of learning a lot about shooting (mid/long range) itself.

Why do You not like shooting from bi-pod and what do you use instead - backpack or some kind of bag?
Thanks!
