Savage hit the mark with the accu trigger and accu stock on this rifle, nice muzzle break, very accurate, great gun for shooting at the range. A little heavy to tote around in the woods.

Very accurate right out of the box. Have used this rifle for the last few years shooting in local 300 yard matches, and have taken first place more than once.

This rifle is the finest bolt action .308 that I have ever owned. The glass I use with it is a Vortex Viper 6-24 x 50 with a illuminated reticle with mil adjustments. With my reloaded Lapua brass, 168 grain Nosler Custom Competition bullets, charged with 44 grains of Varget, it prints 1/4 inch groups at 100 yard and 1/2 inch groups at 200.

Very awesome, very accurate , very heavy gun. Mine really likes barns vortex 150 grn. ammo. =3" groups a 500 yards. trigger gets down to a light crisp break. Savage is really worth a try for those skeptics. Way more out of the box than you get from others

Mounted a Vortex HS Viper 6-24 X 50mm. Had this gun a month and to the range 3 times. Sighted in with the cheap Federal XM80CS 149gr ball - hard to keep better than 1-1/2" group. (One might get a 1/2" group now and then with 3 shots, but I consider a group 10 shots) Switch to some home-brew Hornady 168gr BTHP and group size went to sub 1/2". Trigger is crisp just like the 2 other Savage's I have. Only complaint is - it seems to have a problem picking up the 3rd round from the magazine all the time - I have to be real deliberate. (I have about 15 bolt actions, so I do know the difference). It's got to be the magazine; I'll let it work in - if not, might need to change the spring. Anyhow, this is another Savage that has great out-of-the-box accuracy. Oh! almost forgot, Bud's got me this gun in 3 business days (5 purchases from Buds and counting).

This rifle is fantastic. The build quality looks like it should cost twice as much as what I paid. I took it to the range and ran about 60 rounds through it. I added a Vortex 4-16 PST scope with Warne medium rings and a EGW 20 MOA rail. This combo just works. The trigger is fantastic. I shot sub MOA 5 shot groups using cheap ammo (Federal America Eagle 168 gr ) and it was a windy day. I could have done better under better conditions. You would have to spend over twice as much as what this rifle cost to get something that may perform slightly better. Just buy it.....you won't regret it,

Better than advertised. Smooth and very accurate. I am small person so could use a little shorter stock. fired 100+ rounds with no problems.

I bought this Rifle in a 308 Cal. For myself..as a Christmas Present. I could not have made a better choice. I mounted a medium Vortex 6 X 18 X 44 Scope...a few adjustments and then the bulls eyes started rolling in.....The Best Purchase ever. Then there was the Buds shop Handling of the transaction...Smooth and timely as promised. They had a wonderful Sale price that beat all others out. I could not be more happier. Thank you Bud.

Bud's is a good company and very reliable, but since I live in Oregon I never get the gun in 2 days as some reviewers have. Note: if you pay with cash taken electronically from your checking account it will take 5 days before your gun gets to the shipping stage. This gun is excellent and fun to shoot but kicks harder than a 22 as one review indicated, however, its recoil is distinctly less than a regular 308 curtesy of a great recoil pad and the muzzle break. The gun deserves a really good scope. The one I used will be replaced since heat off the barrel kept it from coming into focus. Higher scope mounts will also be necessary.

From the moment I opened the box at the FFL dealer, to this very moment, I'm absolutely in love with this rifle! First time to the range I used M80 ball ammo, because that's all I could get my hands on with the ammo shortage, and it was still making groups a tick under 1/2 MOA with that low end ammo. I was finally able to get my hands on some Sierra Match King Gold, and instantly was shooting sub 1/4 MOA. If you have the ability, this rifle is capable of single hole groups all day long with the proper ammo. I use a Redfield 4-12x40 scope, so it's not like I've put a TON of money into the glass to shoot those groups, either. The muzzle brake is an interesting experience if you've never shot a rifle with this type before. After squeezing the AWESOME trigger, a boom much louder than a normal .308 takes place, and you strangely feel a breeze from the gasses being forced backwards, interesting to say the least. The brake along with the heavy barrel work to reduce recoil down to laughable lows, I really can't see the recoil being too much for anybody, very light. All together my setup cost me just under $1k including the cost of the rifle, and it's shooting beyond what I would've ever thought, this rifle is a definite must buy.

Great rifle. took 3 shots to sight in and then shot a .5 inch five shot group. amazing the accuracy and the muzzle break(loud like all) took all recoil away. Like shooting a 22. Make sure to clean all the oil off that comes on the gun before shooting. It came in perfect shape with 2lb pull on the trigger. The best trigger out of the box I've ever touched. Can't beat this gun or the price.

Gun came set at just over a 2lb break, barrel is well floated over the stock even with the gun set on a bipod. receiver base is round and thought I had a messed up screw hole but it was the screw for my scope base. description is accurate, the barrel is HEAVY! even with fluting it centers at the rear swivel stud This aint no mountain gun but nor am I a mountain man.

Shot Bolts in the Marine Corps different ways different places, this rifle has the ability to mimic a 7K build . If you don't have $10,000 to blow like monopoly money this rifle is next best thing.... buy it shot it.

This weapon is the best I have ever fired, not owned, but even FIRED!. It is what I would call a same hole gun. I sighted this weapon in at 200 yards and all three, three round groups I fired to sight it in, each group could be covered with a dime. The trigger is unbelievable, much less the weight, butt pad, and ported end make it where in my opinion this gun kicks about as much as a 20 gauge shotgun with bird shot. If you are looking for a weapon that is accurate out to 1300 yards, has an adjustable trigger along with the accustock which keeps the barrel floated, this is the weapon for you. I put a harris bi pod and a 6x24x50 scope on mine. awesome rifle.

Typical Savage error on price. They should sell this for $1,200-$1,300 dollars all day. Their CEO must be an idiot!!! Rifle groups less than 1/2 MOA with Federal SMKHP 175 grain. Savage are giving guns away at stupid prices...

All I can say about this gun is wow!! Great rifle shoot good groupings depending on the ammo you using it seems to shoot sub MOA groupings best with 168 grain round and im sure it could do awesome with Sierra Match Kings especially at a 1000 yards. Buds was also great I was a little worried at first because of some negative reviews but most of the reviews seemed to be the customers fault so I took the leap and well im impressed gun shipped same day I ordered and got in 7 days. Thanks Buds!!!

This rifle is simply outstanding. Makes me seem to perform better than I would have expected. Too easy to shoot tiny groups. Attention to detail in the production of this weapon was exceptional. Perfect for it's purpose. As usual, Bud's is excellent to deal with!

I got this rifle in on a Friday afternoon, and picked up a Warne Maxima scope mount and some Leupold QD rings for my "spare" 4-16xAO scope... Even with fairly basic glass, this rifle is impressive. I sighted in with some cheap stuff, then shot some groups off a bipod and rear bag using Federal Gold Medal Match (175gn SMK), and WOW. Triangle-shaped blob groups at 100 yards are definitely the norm out of this gun. Less than half-MOA accuracy easily if you spring for the good ammo, or load your own. The entire setup is massive -- the 24" barrel length excludes the muzzle brake at the end, and with the sheer mass of the barrel/action, it's an absolute joy to shoot. I had it butted up right against my collarbone, and I could shoot it all day. The bolt is cock-on-open, but once you've done that, it just slides back and forth with gravity, even after taking an afternoon's worth of grit from my windy, dusty range. The knob is pretty fat, though, so depending on your scope you might need higher rings than you'd like in order to clear the bolt when it cycles. I absolutely love the Accutrigger, though some folks might not like the little Glock-style blade getting in the way. I don't mind -- if I can have a 1.5 pound trigger with built in safety, I'm all for it. It comes with a little adjustment tool, but really, you should only have to tweak it once. The Accustock is great for a basic synthetic stock. If you're leery of the plastic feel, this is a much nicer synthetic stock than in my Mossberg 590. The stock alone has a bit of heft to it, which I like. It's very, very rigid, and it has an excellent recoil pad. Can you do nicer? Sure, but it'll be an extra couple hundred bucks. Savage sets out to make extremely accurate rifles at an affordable price. You can absolutely do nicer with custom stocks, different glass/mounts, or even with different options in their LE/mil line, but this is an excellent starting point for a medium-long range rig. The core of what makes this rifle accurate -- the barrel and action -- in my opinion cannot get any better for a factory rifle.

The whole buying process through buds was very simple. Their customer service is also very helpful. The next time I buy something through buds I will not use the e-check system because it is extremely slow but that's not buds fault. Once the final e-check payment went through, the gun arrived at my FFL 2 days later which I was extremely happy about. The gun arrived in beautiful condition and I cant wait to go shoot it !!!

Arrived in Phoenix Arizona right on schedule. I was originally told that it would take a few days to get ready for shipping but, with Bud's great customer service, the gun was shipped the same day I ordered it. Now on to the rifle, after a brief break in period, I was shooting one-inch groups at 100 yards. And that is what stock Remington ammo. I am extremely pleased with the muzzle brake as the amount of felt recoil is less than my .223 Savage model 12. For the optics, I use a Vortex Crossfire scope, 8 x 32 x 50, I used a BlackHawk picatinny rail and a Burris AR-P.E.P.R. scope mount. I know using a AR scope mount his unconventional but I have to tell you this gun looks amazing. My overall experience with Bud's was excellent, their staff really knows what they are talking about and they had the best prices on this particular rifle that I could find. My next firearms purchase will definitely be through Bud's!!

I have recently purchased a Savage .308 10FCP-K with an Hawke 6-18x44 AO SR12 scope attached on a one piece EGW HD 20 MOA mount and Burris Xtreme 1 in. med. rings. After mounting the scope all I had to do to laser sight it in at 25 yds was 3 clicks windage and 5 clicks elevation, to which I added 2-3 more clicks on paper at 100yds. At the range, during the break-in session, it grouped under .5 MOA at 100YDS with Federal Premium Gold Medal 168gr. With scope it weighs in at almost 10lbs. The action is as smooth as it can get on a factory rifle, the accutrigger will pleasantly surprise you with its smooth and crisp performance. Everything else it feels right once you touch the rifle. Not much felt recoil. I consider it money well spent. The whole rig came in at around $1126. Hope this helps. To recap: Savage .308 10FCP-K - $750 + $8 shipping +$22 on not paying cash + $35 FFL fee and $25 Brady Bill total $840.00
