Bench Rest Shooting

[Rugerboy50]

Man i know how to start something learning my way around this forum and hobby.

Guess i fall into item # 2. That's basically what I'm out to accomplish. Don't want to be a upper end top gun and i want to be better than a tin can shooter.

Take a look at Savage model SKU 18609 and tell me where you think it falls. There are several other rifles in that category that i would like feed back on as well.

The model mentioned is in the pseudo sniper catagory. It is a very nice rifle and I have handled one at a local show. It was light weight and felt good. I did not get to work the action or feel the trigger b/c of the zip-ties on the gun at the show. It is a little plain looking but there are plenty of goodies to dress up a model 10.

I see you are a local. What show have you seen this rifle at?

Send me a list of suggestions you like in this category if you don't mind.

Thanks

Imo, this would be a great choice for what you have described.

I saw quite a few of the Savage models I like at the last HGCA show at Reliant center almost a month ago. I have a thread of my own started for precision rifle that accepts a removable box magazine and threaded barrel. Look a little down the list of threads in the rifle section and read over some of the suggestions others have mentioned. The Savage 10 precision carbine comes to mind with all the features I was looking for in a rifle. I will probably end up buying on of these though.

This model seems to have EVERYTHING I wanted from a factory gun without having to spend a bunch of money over and above the purchase price. I looked at a lot of Remington 700s and can not find one that is less than $1200 and offers everything I was looking for. Even the models above the $1200 range still did not have a removable box mag that had more than 5rd capacity.
