Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?
Have a pair on 'em, .308/10 & .223/9, both shoot extremely well once they got Rifle Basix triggers and were stuffed into B&C stocks
. Still need to install the Badger bolt knobs I've had sitting for the past, OMG 
...year. Both are scoped w/ SS 10X in PMI rings over Farrell 20MOA bases. Run FGMM 168, only been out to 300M and FGMM 69 only @ 100M.
Good basic rifles as is, better w/ assorted goodies though

Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?
Yeah I should have added that if is in the factory plastic stock, you'll need to replace that! They're a giant piece of shit! Put it in a decent stock and it'll shoot lights out!!

Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?
I have one of the early 10fp's with the Mc Millon stock and the 26" pipe. I love it. For a stock gun I don't know that you could beat it. Mine loves Black Hills Match 168/175 BTHP. I've worked with it out to 600 yards and it never disappoints me.

Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?
If you reload ammo specifically for your 10FP, you will be astonished by its "factory" accuracy. I regularly shoot sub half inch 5 shot groups with mine. Ditch the factory stock for a good aftermarket one (B&C, Manners, Stockade, McRee, etc.) Shoots a variety of bullets well from 110gr to 185gr.

Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?
Don't do any reloading, but it will probably still out shoot me.

In that case Hornady TAP will serve you well.

Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?
Yea saw it, but I'm looking for a varmint style the same way he is.
I have a friend that has s 11fp 20" with some type of Choate stock, can't remember exactly the style but I'm hoping I'll end up with it shortly.

Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?
Do all the 11fp's use a detachable magazine, can't remember if his is or not.

Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?
i have not heard of an 11fp, just the 10 fp. all 10fp's are blind mags i believe. perfect candidate for CDI bottom metal. the 10fcp is the factory DBM. cant say what they call that option in other series, sorry, my knowlege is limited to the 10 series. but savages site will tell you all you need to know

Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?

jdgray, that is a very nice looking rifle. The one I'm looking at has a choate varmint stock.

Depends on what bullet is used. I have loaded 110gr Sierra JHP, 125gr Berger FB, 185gr Berger Long Range HPBT, Sierra 168's and 175's

Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?
155 grain sierra palma mk and 42.5 gr of varget is the ticket, despite being a 1:10 twist my three savages all have shot in the 2's and 3's when I do my part at 100. At 300 they have shot (again when I do my part) .5-.6 moa. For a factory button cut mass produced barrel, it is hard to justify tossing it, and trying another from one of the many fine companies that are found on the top BR shooters today.

Re: Savage 10fp LE1 opinions?
I owned the Savage in .308 for many years. It had the old style trigger but it shot great! I did not like the plastic magazine follower but it never failed me. I sold it to a friend and he is still squeezing great scores out of it. It's a great rifle for the money!
