Ok heres the situation. I want a short barreled .308 for hunting deer and punching paper out to 600 yards. I have a Sendero in .300 RUM for extended ranges. I want a shorter rifle for all my hardwood hunting and some cutovers. I love my sendero but barrel is just a little to long to be swinging around in a treestand but enough about hunting, now to the rifles. The savage has the accustock and the accutrigger but I like the fact that the remmy has a threaded barrel, if I ever wanted to put a can on it. I've read the threads on the AAC and everyone seems to like it but I haven't heard anything on the savage. Your opinions and group sizes for both rifles is appreciated, thanks.

Savage makes a Precision Carbine in a 5R offering now. Including; accustock, accutrigger and a 20" medium contour fluted 1:11.25 twist threded barrel w/ thread protector. Seems to be just what your looking for.

I don't have the exact model you are asking about, but +1 for Savage. There out of the box performance is simply amazing. Mine was a 24" 308 when I bought it new, It was under 1MOA out to 600 and at 1000 it was just at MOA. I'm sure the short barrel version is nothing short of this type of performance as well.

I have the new Savage 10PC with the 5R barrel it also has the target accutrigger which is a plus for bench but for hunting you will want to crank it up. Mine like 155gr amax's 1/2 moa or better when i do my part but it also shoots the 175's good. I haven't played past 500 yet so we will what it will do. The one thing i wish savge would change is their trigger housing to sturdier one like comes on the SAV-2 from Rifle Basix's I think it would make the accutrigger more reliable with fewer trips.

Hi there, I am new here, great site with tons of free info. Thanks all!
+1 for Savage LE Carbine. I bought mine 6 months ago and super happy with it. Put a 10x SWFA SS on it/Farrell mount and rings. 600 yards is not a problem with Match grade ammo. Trigger is SWEET.

My vote is for the Savage PC. I am really enjoying my Savage PC in 308. Here are a couple pics. Also posted is a group I shot on Saturday, I was working on some different things but you can see in the one group I had 4 shots that were one hole and then the one flyer at the end... isn't that the way it always is?
42gr Varget
Hornady brass 10x fired
CCI BR2 Primer
2.805 COAL
168gr SMK
100 yards

I like my savage carbine. I have about 350 rounds through it. Trigger started failing at about 250 rounds. Mine is about a year old before the threaded muzzle option and 5R rifling. Mine likes the heavy bullets the best.185-220 range.

have they changed the trigger housing? mine is metal, how much sturdier could it be? or do you mean wider? and when you say target accutrigger, do you mean the one with the red blade? thats adjustable to 6 oz i think. the tactical is down to 1.5 pounds and comes in the LE model 10's.

AXEMAN
The trigger housing allows to much side to side play in the trigger. Which makes it more difficult to set to lower pull without it tripping. Mine is made of metal but the one that comes with the sav-2 from rifle basix is sturdier and doesn't allow as much play.
It is the tactical sorry not the target trigger. But it will go down to less than a pound.
