Squeaky 135 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hey Guys: I finally got a break from work and got my scope mounted onto my Savage 10 FCP-K at my LGS. Can't wait to zero it in. I'll be the last to claim I "know" rifles as well as most of you. I've simply been impressed with what Savage has been producing lately. However, I really don't understand their designation system for different models. Seems like there are a jillion Savage Model 10s. I am wondering what is the Savage Model 10 FCP-K's reputation. Mine is a .308. I put an SWFA 12x42 MRAD scope on it, I have a Dark Eagle 10-round magazine, and a bipod. The Accu-trigger is nice. I used a TPS base and rings. It looks really cool. Most of my ammo for it is Federal GMM with 168 gr. Sierra boat tail bullets. I'll break-in the barrel with less expensive ammo though. I suspect the gun/scope combination is more capable than I am at the moment. I'm just wondering what kind of experience any of you may have had with this rifle. This is my "just in case" stuff really does hit the fan one day rifle and I assume it's quite accurate. I went ahead and got it because I thought I heard Savage discontinued the FCP-K. What do you guys think of it? Just wondering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SmilinEd 364 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Squeaky, I own the Savage mod 93 btvs/22mag with Nikon BuckMaster 3-9 for chucks and other little critters that have become a problem. @ 110 yds it is a Tack Driver, one shot one kill, Hornady 33 gr ammo. Very pleased with this rifle. Also I have NIB a Savage Axis 308, blk/blk. It is my budget build, long range shooter, for same reasons. The Axis only has a 4rd factory mag (plastic) was the only drawback to making the purchase. Then I found on SnipersHide forums that someone was producing 10rd metal mags for the Axis so I purchased the rifle and now need to make the mods. Your Rifle is a top line shooter, Lots of glowing reviews that you probably already know.!!! Savage has made accuracy the top priority with its rifles. For factory made rifles, I believe Savage has the Competition beat. Good Luck with your Mod 10 Edited November 25, 2014 by SmilinEd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
