Put order in for Savage Model 10 PC

[neeltburn]

Been talking about it for a year and decided to go for it and of course its out of stock at my LGS supplier. Its on his list so as soon as one is available it should be soon I hope.

Plans: Precision/ Varmint Hunt Rig

Now:
Get Rifle in 223.
Put my SWFA SS 10x on it
EGW or TPS 20 MOA Base ( Got flamed for this on another forum)
Harris Bipod 6-9s I have
And start shooting.

Long Term
223 AI barrel
Vortex PST FFP 4-16 or 6-24.
McCree Chassis?

How did you get flamed on the other forum? Im not a fan of fixed power scopes, but besides that it sounds like a good setup.

for saying I was going to do a 20moa base on a 223.

Why wouldn't you

Also to people think that a canted base is only good for using more internal travel inside the scope, but a huge thing a 20moa base does for you is it allows you to spend more time in the scopes optical center where abrasion is at its least.

It all depends on the range you intend to spend the most time

I looked at it like this, as long as I can get a 100yd zero.. what is the down fall. This gun will shoot to 500 on a regular basic and past that ( for fun) several times a year. That and it will be my coyote rig and most likely go out on pdog hunt too.. seems like a no brainer to me.

It will be here next Friday, put in order in for a Farrell 20MOA base tonight....

Still have to put the brake on it, but then its ready to roll. Of course now Im already looking at other optics.

Nice gun! It's a Savage so it will shoot very well. I believe that gun is a 9 twist. My 1:9 LRPV loves 69 gr SMKs and Hornady 68 gr BTHPs but also shoot bullets as light as 50 VMax into 1 MOPD (minute of prairie dog). Mine does do better off bags or a rest than a bipod, though. Of course, that could be the driver.

Edit: It has a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x40 mildot. Great in the dog towns.

Seems like your scope is awfully high. Other than that looks good! Is there a reason you're putting a brake on it? That's not something I'd like to have on a coyote rifle especially if I was shooting somewhere with a lot of echo.

Some TPS Rings were ordered, and the brake is for my SAS M47 Suppressor.
