Savage 10/110

A friend of my consulted me on the purchase of a savage 10 fp (federal/police) bolt-action .308. As I was telling him about this rifle I realized that it could be the greatest rifle of all times.

The same friend consulted another friend of ours that is currently the commander of the US Army sniper school at FT Benning. He said that, despite their hefty budget for sniper-type weapons, they have several Savage rifles they use often.

What makes the Savage 10 the best?

-free floated barrel

-adjustable accu-trigger

-barrel replacement and interchangeability that anybody can do with the proper tools

-affordability (cheapest quality bolt action ever)

-reliability (it's a bolt-action)

-availability (you can get it at walmart)

-out-of-the-box accuracy that rivals (or beats with handloads) that of custom rifles

-two-piece bolt that you can change the face of to accept different calibers

Police departments are also fans of the Savage 10fp for the above reasons. I have a feeling this will be the next bolt-action rifle that makes it into my safe. In .308 no doubt.
