My next project rifle

[TKellogg]

Just picked this up at Cabela's this evening. It's a stock Savage 300Win with accutrigger. It was used but I don't think much it still had the accutrigger sticker on it. Going to get a Manners T4 stock for sure but not sure on the glass yet.

Going to get a second barrel in 308 as well....can't wait

Welcome to the brotherhood of the barrel nut. I'm sure you will be pleasantly supprised when you pull the trigger on it. One piece of advise I have is change from the accutrigger to the rifle basix sav-1 or the SSS. Anyone who every has any reliability issues always has issues with the accutrigger.

Good luck,
Merritt

Re: My next project rifle

I have a Model 10 on .308 with the accutrigger and have not had any issues with it, took a little bit to get used to though. I love it now, Savage make a great gun.

Man, not a lot of savage love around here. This is my second savage and I've had a few Remington 700's. I got this one for the easy switch barrel design.

Re: My next project rifle

Re: My next project rifle

I will post some pics for my first range day ASAP. Lucky for me I have a 700 in 300WM I use for hunting so I've got some loads in mind that should shoot well.

Re: My next project rifle

They're like crack. Can't have just one. That second barrel will soon turn into a whole gun.





It's awesome.

I had a problem with my Accu-Trigger on my Savage 10 BAS. It would lock up after I chambered a new round and I would have to unlock the bolt and drop it back down to let it go free.. I asked around and was told to tighten up the trigger pull and carefully clean any packing grease and anything else that may of been on the springs. I followed this and my Savage shoots like a champ no further issues.

Lol, I think somebody loved the idea of owning a 300 win mag, then shot the thing. I don't know how much that weighs, but can't be too much. That thing, off a bench, with just bags, yeee hawww! Who knows what really happened though, and their loss is your gain. Congrats and enjoy!

Re: My next project rifle

Yup, that will wake you up in the mornin'!

The complaints I have seen with the accutrigger have been with folks trying to pull the trigger before the 'accu part' is depressed. I guess if you really tried you can botch just about anything.
This "problem" would be impossible to duplicate with a judicious 90 degree trigger pull.

Also, I would shoot that rifle before buying a new barrel. You might be surprised. A new barrel may not get you much improvement for the money it will cost.
David Tubbs Final Finish might be appropriate on the factory barrel and usually improves accuracy and clean up and just might get you where you want to be for a lot less money, especially on a Savage as they can just flat out shoot. Don't get it near a premium barrel though.

Re: My next project rifle

Ain't nothin better than a Savage in a Manners!! I will be dropping my 10PC into a MCS-T shortly. Well, at least as soon as they ship it to me!!

Re: My next project rifle

I don't know if I'm trying to make up for anything but I like to have some kick to my rifles. I get bored quickly.

As for the barrel. I want to have a 300win/308win switch barrel set up. I had a M700 action and everything just about ready to go out to the smith and after doing the math it wasn't cost effective. So I sold the M700 and bought a Savage.
