A lot of people underestimate the Savage bolt actions and that is a mistake. They kind of remind me of ScrapYard knives. You get a lot of "Bang"(pun intended) for the buck. I have a Savage 10FP and a 110FP that shoot ridiculously well right out of the box. As a matter of fact, the 10FP in .308 shoots better with factory ammo right out of the box than just about any non custom rifle I have ever seen. They are serious shooters.
