10FP with detachable mag??

[z71rat]

I understand that Savage is now shipping the 10FP with the accustock, is there any plans to have the detachable magazine option?

The accu-stock DOES have an detachable magazine.

Just to make sure... we are talking about the 10FP, and not the 10FCP?? I don't really care about the fluting or the muzzlebrake.

If so, do you have a link that I can check it all out?? I have not found anything about this. Thank you for this information!!

Looking at Savages web site The 10Fp does not come with the accu-stock.

The 10fcp-k does have the accu-stock.

So far everything I have seen that comes with the "Accu-stock" comes with a detachable magazine.

Therein lies my confusion. From what I have been reading all over everywhere, the 10FP's were supposedly being shipped with the Accustock. Frustrating.

I guess I am just doing alot of wishing and wanting to get exactly what I am looking for in my new rifle, without having to spend alot of time waiting or alot of additional funds to get it there.

I just picked up a .308 10FCP with the Choate stock, was never a fan of their other stocks but this one is nice. The action is smooth and detachable magazine works flawless. I prefer this over the Accu-Stock that a buddie has they are better than the tupperware but no where near as stiff and robust as the Choate. I may just get another for my staggered feed 243AI.

That is definately a sweet rig there Hog!! Do you have any plans on chopping the barrel or any other modifications to it?? Or is it in it's final configuration??

I had considered getting that same rig, but I am looking for something shorter and lighter. It will be my tactical/hunting/paper punching rig...

I'm gonna re-barrel it eventually, but got alot of .308 brass to shoot up first.

If I was looking to buy, I would go the same route that PA Hog did. I also am not a big fan of the accu-stock.

z71rat, I often thought about doing a staggered feed 12FV with a Duramax and a CDI Detachable mag set-up.

[z71rat]

Hmmm, definately something to think about...

I tend to get confused about the various 'versions' of the 10FP. Most of the ones I've seen utilized a blind magazine and never included scope and rings. But Dick's has a "Savage 10FP" with a detachable magazine and a Tasco WorldWide mildot scope mounted on it. I cannot find a model version or designation that would allow me to order one from Savage or Walmart or whomever. Any ideas what kind of rifle this is?

[z71rat]

I wish could see what all DSG's has to offer. I am curious... what was the price on the 10FP that you saw??

Dick's up here has a 22" or 24" Fluted Matte Heavy Barrel with a Varmint style stock and a detachable box magazine, some throw away scope and ring combo for $699.99

[Snakum]

The one I saw wasn't fluted, just the heavy 24" barrel, detachable mag, and Tasco World Wide mil dot scope. Accutrigger but not Accustock. They were running a sale on it, but the nonsale price was $699. They were offering 30% off all rifles over $500 that day. Kinda wish I'd bought it. They also had a Remington SPS Varmint .308 in camo with a cheap Simmons scope for $549. The Savage looked, felt, and 'worked' way more solidly and more highly finished than the Remington.

[pa hog]

The Choate Tactical is a great buy, But the Precision Carbine looks pretty good to as a lighter option.
Says 24" but mine is surely a 26"
