Model 10 Predator Hunter Max 1...

Saw this on the Savage website. New for 2010. Basically, the earlier predator model, but with a fluted, non-camo barrel, but camo'd accu-stock option. I like the looks of this rifle, particularly since I never really cared for the all over camo job. The downside to this model, IMO, is selling price. I've already gotten one quote from a dealer for $775.00. I don't own any Savage rilfes - yet - but this price puts this rifle into a different league with other makers.

I was always lead to believe that savage rifles are "value priced"...maybe not so much in this case. Here's your chance, Savage lovers: Help me understand why I should buy this new offering over the competition?

LOL guess no one feel like twisting your arm :)

because you cant have to many switch barrel rifles!!! p.s don't tell any one. lol 8) dd good luck on the competition.

Does anyone know if Savage is shipping this version of the Model 10 yet?

Not to start a whole big deal, but is that really that expensive? Is another company making a gun like this with a fluted barrel and a camo stock with this price point? Remington makes a Sendero that has a fluted barrel, but I think the accustock and the accutrigger are better than Remington's offerings. Also, a Sendero has a MSRP of $1350.

3 predator (2)223 (1) 204 snow pattern 2 mod 10 digital camo 308s all out of the box will shoot circles around any other stock gun.
1 model 10 been rebarrled to a 260 rem. will put any of my rifles up against any stock production gun. My sons own Remingtons and brownings and final starting to come around to ol dads thinking.
