mine was well under 1 moa out of the box , stock sucks though. Bolt is a little rough but smooths out with use, I think i put a choate tactical stock on it. got out of 308 so sold it though...

Good guns. Accurate. Very good stock triggers. Easy to rebarrel. You'll want a different stock.

As others have said, great rifle, great trigger, shitty stock. Look at the Choate, B&C for a nice decently priced upgrade.

Just got one from Bud's. 5R fluted barrel in .308. First shots for record was 5 shots into 0.75" with less than 20 rounds down the tube. Don't know who got a shitty one but mine is great. Accutrigger is great. Stock could be better but I can live with it for now.

I purchased a beat up used one for 300. I put a new stock on it and had to shim the scope alot, figure thats why i got it so cheap. Anyway i put a vortex scope on it and called it my budget build.
It makes consistent hits at 700 yards. I have stretched to 800 but i was running out of daylight. I was amazed. |

They don't exude the same feeling of fine craftsmanship of many guns that they outshoot. If you're in it for the wine and cheese of it, skip the Savage. If you just want to reliably put bullets into stupid small groups for not a lotta clink, they're for you.

Most intuitively designed bolt action there is, the barrel is user replaceable, the trigger is simple as anything, easy to change the bolt knob. You can pretty much get a custom gun without paying a gunsmith a dime.
Spend what you save on a good stock, Manners MCS-TA is my favorite, worth every bit of the $500 |

got the 10FP-SR in .308
Trigger is great Stock is meh shoots about 3/4 MOA a little under sometimes had some issues with extraction at first but the more I shoot it the better it gets 
Just need a stock and a better scope and I think I might love it 
Best group, till I pulled the 5th shoot

I just shot mine at the range today. It is a tack driver. Mine is sub-MOA and it really likes Hornady 168gr A-Max Match ammo. Mine is totally stock. The stock is OK, but it's fine for what I do with it. The bolt is a little finicky. It sticks a little when extracting some ammo. Today I was shooting Hornady 165gr GMX and it was catching a little. I threw a 168gr A-max in and it was like butter. Not sure what the deal is. Nonetheless, it's not a deal breaker for how accurate it is out of the box.

I put mine in a Stockade Prairie Dog Special stock. It's probably one of the most accurate guns I've ever owned. Not too bad considering the rifle, stock, scope and all ran just shy of $1000.

As mentioned the stock sucks and is very flexible. Makes it a soft shooter though.

I have an accu-trigger .223 and like others said the stock is complete garbage. I've seen better stocks on air rifles. That said, with an aftermarket stock and handloads this thing is surgically accurate. Buy it.

It's a cheap gun, but they put the money into a nice barrel and a nice trigger. Savages have always been sleepers. And you can afford to replace the stock. Buy it and be happy. There are lots of $150 pawn shop Savages in rural Texas with $600 scopes on them because they work. |

I'm pretty much sold on the Savages.
The basic criticism that I hear from certain people in the precision rifle crowd is that, "they are accurate, but they are cheap, expect frequent failure of small parts and premature breakage." Maybe that's just sour grapes because the Savages can run with or beat their more expensive rifles. |

I have a savage 10fp tactic rifle i bought back in 1999. I put an aftermarket boyds bro stock on it, a sharpshooter supply trigger, and it shoots under 1moa. For the length of the barrel (22 inches), its a really handy rifle.
Maybe ill have to pull it out of the safe and go shoot it, i havent shot it in years. |

Was it the front of the scope you had to shim? I had to come up 1.5 full rotations to get Zero at 100yrds. That gives me barely enough to get out past 600-700. Was thinking I need to shim the front ring. What say you? ETA: My chamber was shallow and though factory stuff worked fine I couldnt hand load to fit the chamber. Even a previously fired casing. Had to grind down the base of the die to get a deeper sizing. |

Maybe that's just sour grapes because the Savages can run with or beat their more expensive rifles. I own savage bolt guns as well as a couple of GA Precision rifles. The savages are definitely excellent guns for the money and i do like them. My prairie dog gun is a savage and i also have a 10fp as indicated above. The difference between a savage and a GAP is repeatability. My GAPs are capable of repeatable and consistent groups. With a savage, you might shoot a 1/2 moa group here and there but a GAP can do it all the time. Im currently doing load development with my GAP 338 LM and shot a 1/3 moa group (3 shot) during initial load development. With a little refinement im confident it wil maintain this and stay under 1/2 moa with 10 shot groups. Bottom line, like all things in life, you get what you pay for, but for the money, you cannot beat a savage, hence why i own several of them. |
