Re: Savage LE rifles
We currently use custom built rifles built on the Rem 700 action. However, given the experiences I have had with the 10FP, I certainly would not hesitate to use one on duty. I would definately want something other than the Savage factory stock but a 10FP with the McMillan, HS Precision, or even the B&C Tactical Medalist would be more than capable!

Re: Savage LE rifles
My Dept, and a few others shoots at Camp Smith here in NY, and the State Police as well as County police has a few 10FCP HSs. The State guys are kinda... standoffish :}, but having played with the County ones, absolutely impressive.

Re: Savage LE rifles
I've been a long time REm guy........but I am looking at Savage.....how do the higher end LE PAckage rifles shoot out of the box? And do you ever get used to the accu-trigger?
Also do the Savage detach mag models come with more than the 4-5 round mags. Does Savage or any afermarket outfit make 8-10 rounders?

Re: Savage LE rifles
Out of the box, add ammo and glass and you are going to be impressed.

cdi precision also makes a bottom metal that takes AI mags.

Re: Savage LE rifles
CDI can machine your savage action to accept AI AW mags with their bottom metal. Works out pretty slick.

Re: Savage LE rifles
Thanks for all of the info guys......sharpshooter supply seems to be the place. Now that I have opened my mind I wonder why more guys don't shoot Savage.......especially the price point...you can get a nice 308 in a McMillan A series from the FACTORY! for about a grand!! Plus you can swap calibers alot easier than with a remington and AICS is coming out with a drop in for Savage.........whats not to like?

Re: Savage LE rifles
even the high end LE model is just the HS stock, ken ferrel base and a mk4 leupold plus a storm case. supply the scope and case, you have a basic 10fcp-hs, just like i bought for less than half the package cost. but that being said, the package price is decent considering the scope & case costs

oltman, the actual metal has to be machined or did you mean stock inletted? i hadnt heard about machine work on the action

Re: Savage LE rifles
For the CDI Precision DBM setup to work, all you need to do is inlet the stock for the bottom metal no work has to be done to the action.

Re: Savage LE rifles
Nostyta is correct if you are going to use AICS mags no machining of the action is necessary.
I had mine setup for AI AW double stack mags. It only requires some very minor machining of the action.
*Edit* My 10fp is the stagger feed action, things may be different for other savage action types.

Forgot to mention that I'm using the AICS mags and my 10FP is the newer center feed model so after the inletting on the stock your done.

Re: Savage LE rifles
fp is stagger fed and fcp is center fed. right? Northlander says if the mag box is attached to the action, its stagger.
tacop, any idea which model you guys are getting? i keep hearing people refer to the 10fp-le and i think thats the original version thats got a 26" barrel. now they are all 24"

Northlander would be correct. The FP and FCP are just model designations they don't indicate stagger or center feed ofcourse the FCP being a new model it has the center feed but the FP models could have either staggered or center feed depending on year of rifle. The stagger feed design was changed over to the new center feed design in (can't remember year) due to the issues some were having with the stagger feed at least that's what I've read, also the action bolt spacing changed with the new center feed design, staggared feed bolt spacing is 4.275" while the center feed is 4.411".
