Just picked it up at my LGS on the way home from work today, tomorrow my Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 will be here along with the Badger Ordinance rings. Now the wait until I can get out to the range with it this weekend.

Re: New Savage 110 FCP
Nice looking rifle! I am also anxious to hear how it shoots! Have kinda considered one of the new Savages as well...

Re: New Savage 110 FCP
Very curious as to how this one shoots. Not to many 338's around the 1k mark.

Re: New Savage 110 FCP
Nice pick-up. I wonder why they used what looks like such a tapered barrel on this, I can't imagine even with the thin profile barrel anyone would walk around with this thing. I bet if they put a heavy barrel on it would be a bigger hit.

Re: New Savage 110 FCP
It's not actually as thin as it appears, it measures slightly under .9" right behind the brake.

Nice Savage. I'm about to try one myself. Have a LRP in .260 Remington on the way. Have heard only good things about them, especially for the money.

Re: New Savage 110 FCP
sweet looking, wished Savage would sell more if this model is available in 300WM, 338 is a tad too expensive on ammo... Savage does have the cheaper looking lonmg-range model w/ cheap stock & action in 300WM.

Re: New Savage 110 FCP
The 111 LRH is available in .300WM and should be comparable, just without the HS stock. They also have the big BA in .300 WM (they're just a PITA to find).

Re: New Savage 110 FCP
And the end product, tomorrow I'll take it out, zero it, then give it a minor workout to 600 yards, range report will follow that.

Re: New Savage 110 FCP
Took it out and zeroed it at 200 yds today, shoots extremely well considering the range I was at had since I was there last covered all the bench tops with a slick vinyl and there was no way in hell I could preload the bipod properly. Even so the final group was a hair under 1" for 5 shots at 200, quite acceptable. The stock isn't a McMillan or Manners, but its leaps and bounds better than the usual Savage tupperware, I actually think I may continue to use it until after the first of the year instead of replacing it ASAP. Over all I think its $1200 very well spent, Saturday I'll stretch its legs a little more and take it out to 500 yds, but that will be on steel so no groups to measure.

Re: New Savage 110 FCP
We seem to be using almost the identical setup. Same scope, base and rings at least, just a different caliber. What stock is that? I like it!

That's the HS Precision it came with, I actually have a 10 FCP-K in .308 also, it's in a McMillan A5 which I have much love for.

Cool, thanks. I have taken a look at the McMillan stocks, spendy, but very nice. I also like the Manners too!

Re: New Savage 110 FCP
Very nice rifle.
I've always drooled over the .338LM, but with not having anyplace to shoot well beyond 1000, it just doesn't make sense to me given the cost. "Sexy" caliber, tho.
