My sons wanting to buy his first rifle and is tossed up between the Ruger American rifle in .308 and the savage 10 (I believe, the one with the accu trigger that's just above the axis) also in .308. I don't have much experience, or any experience at all with either and was hoping maybe you guys could help him purchase his first rifle
Thanks for any help. |

flip a coin and have him get the one that feels better to him. I personally don't like the way the safety is nested in the tang of the savage....it's no problem for target shooting but I find it a pain when hunting in cold weather with gloves on and you have to break your grip to take it off which is a problem if you need to do any fast shooting at game.

Savage all the way.
Back when I was growing up, the general consensus was that Savage was just cheap stuff and only folks who couldn't afford a Remmy or Ruger got them. That was until I actually shot one. Most accurate I have seen out of the box, THEN.... I caught the Barrel Nut Flu! It is so damn easy to reconfigure or rebarrel your savage with simple tools to most any caliber provided it fits the action and it is very addicting! |
but he decided he wants his own and not to borrow from me any more
