    Savage entering the “Higher End” of Bench rifles?

    https://www.americanrifleman.org/art...hassis-rifles/

    Pretty cool. But HOLY COW!! Those prices! I’ll stick with my DIY custom Savage. But I know some have more money than ability...so I’m sure they will have some homes.

    Apparently you need to check the articles on the homepage more often if you're just seeing that.

    As for the prices, yeah - they're a little "out there" for what you're getting IMO. Savage needs to realize they continue to shot themselves in the foot on a lot of these premium models as their customers know they can build essentially the same thing for a LOT less by starting with one of the 12 FV's from Cabela's. They have essentially devalued their own product with special runs like that in recent years. Just look at how cheap actions are selling for in the classifieds these days as proof of that.

    Well I could have chimed in the conversation the thread there....oh wait a sec... there is NO discussion thread!


    I never said, nor do I think I somehow discovered this. Just looked and found no discussion by anyone. Thought it’d be a good convo. Not sure why you try to call me out like I did something wrong, like you have some kind of vendetta. But, great example to set.

    This rifle is clearly designed for the production division class in PRS. However, for the $2k price there are a LOT of options I would choose over a Savage. Honestly, the price isn't terrible for the sum of all components, but I would look towards the MPA BA CMR that has a list of top end components. Maybe the Tikka TSR-1 as a second choice, also ahead of the Savage.

    “Production Division combined rifle and scope MSRP as listed on the company’s website shall not exceed $3,000 USD, the rifle shall not exceed $2,000 USD and the optic not exceed $2,000 USD.Production Division rifles are not permitted to be altered or improved in any way from the original factory configuration.In an effort to prevent exorbitant costs for beginning shooters, Production Division round count will not exceed 80 rounds.”

    Wasn't calling you out, just noting that the info is readily available here rather than sending folks somewhere else. As for a discussion thread, every article posted automatically has a thread started for it which also shows up as replies to the article so you can post in the thread or as a comment to the article and it will be seen both places.

    If that is the case, than I offer my apologies. To the other part, I did a search of all forums, and found nothing. Thought it would make for an interesting topic to discuss. If not, feel free to delete this thread. I’ll just go back to answering questions. LOL

    Because they are cheap and you can frequently get them even cheaper with rebates and sales?

    If I were starting a build I'd go for the least expensive one just for the action. Or...look in the classifieds here and see if an action pops up.

    Am glad you posted that because I have never scrolled down that far on the forum page and I don't think I've ever looked at the forum home page except to register. I set up bookmarks for forum sections I am interested in and only go there.

    Charlie hit the nail on the head. This time last year with the Savage rebate and Cabela's gift card you could essentially buy a brand new 12 FV for well under $300. That gets you an action with varmint trigger and a 26" heavy barrel. Even if you go with MDT's most pricey AAC chassis at $1,000 and spend $200 on an aftermarket trigger you're still going to be $200-300 under the street price of that new Elite Precision 110.
