Savage 10 TR details???

[brasse]

Great day at range. Shooting some Hornady 168GR HPBT. Once zeroed in at 100 yards, switched to another target. First two shots in one hole. Shot the other two in the DBM, these also went into another one hole, touching the other one. Everything fit inside a penny.

Four (4) shot group. It was 98 degrees with wind gusting 5 to 12 MPG from the right. About .38 MOA

brasse: Whoa! Pretty darn impressive!
Looks like You've found what Savage likes! :-D

[brasse]

There is some debate on what is the best factory 308 round:
Hornady 168GR HPBT
Hornady 168GR A-Max
Federal Premium Gold 168 GR Sierra Match King
Federal Premium Gold 175 GR Sierra Match King
Black Hills 168 GR Sierra Match King

I am surprised that the recoil was not bad with the Hornady 168GR HPBT. I have a box of the 175 GR SMK and have coming several boxes of the Federal Premium Gold 168 GR Sierra Match King. Just hoping for a low pain shoulder day combined with low temps and low wind conditions.

I look at the price all the time, $456 delivered. One of the best deals in my life.

[Starosta]

I've done some tuning of cheek height, harris podloc, diopter correction and proper scope timing...
And after the brake installation right to the range :)

These are my best shots fired off my Savage yet - 200 metres (~219 yards), Sako 168grs Sierra HPBT :cool:

The two extra holes were added afterwards because of elevation turret loosening on 300 metres.
(I totally screwed my zero before finding out its the turret - so I needed to "find myself" again on this target to re-zero.) :baby:

To revive the thread...
I was initially quite confused about timing my scope:

When I installed scope measuring gaps under the scope cube, both reticle and clicking were significantly canted. I had to time the scope in the rings a LOT to get clicking vertical.

But then, I changed the original EGW non-canted base for Weaver 20MOA base I've read a lots of "great for the price".

To my surprise, having leveled both action and new base, putting scope+rings back on top - the scope was obviously canted to the opposite side.

After I timed scope in rings to vertical axis (now even the gaps under the scope cube are equal) I verfied on the range proper clicking.

This means that the original base was tightened VERY much to the side of the reciever, so I had some side offset of the scope.
My bad - I should check base level (and torque) first.


Anyway...

Today, I took the stock off and adjusted trigger to the lowest possible settings.
Haven't found any torque specs in the user manual, what torques do you use for tightening action in?

Found this - have anyone tried this method?

Thanks!

Has anybody had problems with the bolt rubbing on the left side of the safety? When I reload a round the bolt binds their, Is this normal?

No.

I decided to troll the local gun shops today looking for year-end deals and one shop had a Black Friday ad on the counter that showed 20" 10TRs for...wait for it...$379.99.

I immediately asked if they had any, and the guy came back and said he had ONE left, a 24" 10TR, with the Black Friday ad pricing good through today. It didn't have the EGW rail and I didn't need another rifle (let alone a 308), but not being able to pass up a deal, it followed me home.

The guy said they had 30 before the sale, but "Nobody's beating down our door to buy a LE-only Savage". Once Savage discontinued their LE line, the shop offered them to the public at closeout prices.

I hate that I didn't see the sale flyer a month ago!!!

Yup, Shooters Supply in Louisville.

Same here. Brother got it for me for Christmas. With this weather, I havent even got to shoot it yet. Got my scope mounted (Redfield BattleZone), just waiting on the weather. Next week is looking very promising. Do you by chance know the OD of the barrel? Im looking to order a brake from JP, but Im in Chicago and dont have access to measure it. Thanks

[Starosta]

reynolds7: The OD depends on the barrel lenght, but overall it's around 0.8":

20" has OD approximately 20.4mm (0.803").
24" version has OD 20.18mm (0.7945").

0.875 brake will be a little over barrel OD:
http://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPTRE-5.58B.875

The .750 version should be shortened by a gunsmith to end up directly clocked and as close to barrel OD as possible.
That should be an "optimal" solution, I guess.
