I'm thinking about picking up one of the Savage F/TR rifles. Does anyone have one of these? How do you like it?
I'm looking for a long range rifle out to 1000 yards.

Dude I think you and wannashootit might have posted your threads at the exact same time because they are asking the same thing almost. Check out his thread I just commented on it, It might help. If you want 1000yd accuracy I wouldn't go with a .308. You can definitely get there with 308 but you could get a factory gun with a better suited caliber. Even a 110 in 300 Win Mag or 7 Rem Mag
 
Re: Savage 12 F/TR 308 Rifle

Can the F/TR be used for real world shooting at long distance are is this model strictly for F class. I've been looking at this rifle for a long time.With the 30 inch heavy barrell it would have no problem at 1000 yards. Is there another model in 308 more suitable?
 
Re: Savage 12 F/TR 308 Rifle

I have played with a couple and I do not see any reason you'd not like it for things outside of F class. For an out the box rifle at an affordable cost, it is tough to do much better.

The model 10 that comes in the hsp or mcm stock are worth a look as well IMHO.

For me it would all come down to what kind of deal I'd be getting.
