Re: Savage 10 Predator Hunter Max 1
If it's going to be .223, keep your eyes open for the 10PC, not sure if there is a price difference but they will be the same rifle.
69 Grain matchkings over about 24 grains of varget. Should shoot lights out and be pretty deadly to boot.
I'm not sure about the predator hunter, the 10PC trigger goes down to about 1.5 lbs. I believe the hunting rifles go down to about 2.5 lbs (my model 12 does).
Another very good option would be the standard FP10 and drop it in a B&C stock.
