    10 FP-SR Upgrades

    I know there has been a bunch of topics on this subject, but i'm looking to start upgrading this 10 FP-SR i picked up a few weeks ago. There is nothing really wrong with it, the gun shoots amazingly well for being an out of the box rifle with a scope and a bipod. But i would like to start...

    First Range day

    After getting the problem fixed from my previous thread i was finally able to make it out to the range for a bit today.

    New Savage Model 10 FP-SR problem

    Re: New Savage Model 10 FP-SR problem i did indeed go about checking what screws where were, i found a really really short one in the rear mount, i moved that one forward and the long one to the back, it works like a charm now. Now to get out to the range and run some rounds through it! Vix

    New Savage Model 10 FP-SR problem

    Re: New Savage Model 10 FP-SR problem well i took it out of the stock, and it's still locking in the same place. It's like it is locking too soon, and isn't getting fully aligned the way it is supposed too so that the first stage of the safety will engage while it's closed.

    Who wants a good rimfire tactical scope?

    Re: Who wants a good rimfire tactical scope? would love to see something like this. But then for me budget is always an issue, so if they can keep it on the lower end like the crossfire line then yeah i think i would snag one of these if they were made again.

    Re: 3 Very Different Scopes I believe it all depends on the features that you want, i am by far no expert. But from what i have been reading, i hear nothing but good about NF optics in general. There are all kinds of people that will say they are absolutely worth the money. I would tend to...
