Called Effe at Savage today asking if they could use their new DBM form the 10fcp-sr on the LRP. Am waiting for an answer. If so, My next call will be to Manners and see if they could inlet and bed a T4A if Savage would sent it to them. Call it crazy, but I was just curious versus a smith built similar configuration in the cost factor. Any Ideas or suggestions from fellow members??

Re: savage configuration
see if the DBM fits the 10fcp foot print. you know still they want $135 for mags dont they? so if thats the case, AI mags at $80-$90 and CDI or the two hi cap mags guys (deadeye, z71rat) are selling would be cheaper. whats the bottom metal cost? you cant use parts finder with out a serial number so i cant find the cost on that new DBM

Re: savage configuration
I know there are a lot of unanswered questions. Effe also eluded to the fact of other configurations in the works but had to check on them before officially announced. I may go with the 10fcp-sr and have them screw a .260 barrel on instead and send it off to Manners. I like the .308, but everyone has one and for good reason, but I just like the .260. The LRP may be the best option until they clear a few things up too.
I will keep posting as I gather intel.

Re: savage configuration
well at 1182.00 that rifle seems to be alot to start with if you want to get restocked. try a stevens or a different cheaper model 10 or buy that 10fp action thats in classifieds and add a CDI to a manners and good 260 barrel and away you go

That's what I would do...should be cheaper and work just as well.

Re: savage configuration

Re: savage configuration
Why go with the 10FCP in a special .260 config. (wouldn't Savage charge extra for that)?
The 12 LRP in .260 comes in an H-S Precision stock, seems to be exactly what you're looking for. It's gotten some very positive reviews here from what I've seen.
Damn school tuition for my sons got in the way, or I'd have bought one by now

There is a repeating target action. Not a 3 screw, Its a 2 screw right bolt, right port, with the 4.4" action screw spacing, and target accutrigger.

You can get modifications to make the factory dbm a 10 round even a 15 round, check out z71rat on here. Or go with a CDI, getting a the new Savage 10fcp-sr custom would be expensive, a better bet(if you really want that new bottom metal) would be buy the rifle, sell the stock and 308 barrel in the classifieds and buy a custom 260 barrel to put on with a manners. You would recoup some money and get a better quality barrel more to your specs.

Re: savage configuration
Just to give you a taste of things to come... LOL!!
These utilize the factory bottom metal assemblies without any modifications to the factory inletting on the stock.
Deadeye has a 10 rounder as well that matches the SSS box magazine should you choose to go that route.
Either way, you have at least a few options to choose from.

Re: savage configuration
The true beauty of Savage is that you can get a Stevens for around $300. Just keep the action. Make sure you get a short or a long based on your needs. Then you just get a barrel, stock, DBM, and you're GTG.

I would run CDI / Alpha Mags if you want RELIABLE. Tom manners inlets for the CDI every day.
