cheese an' rice, I want one.

hmmm, I wonder what the barrel twist is... Weight might be an issue to if trying to meet F/F restriction.

I am new to the ORA/DCRA and long distance shooting, but am looking for a good choice for F (F) Class. Was not aware of the weight restriction, and from searches I gather it is a 7kg restriction all equipment in, is this correct? Is there a link that summarizes all the restrictions?

 

[todbartell]

I believe its a 1:8 twist

Savage F class

Are they only available in .308?

 

[Busta Capp]

that model is listed as a F/TR class rifle, so it is only available in .308. They have another one listed as F Class/Precision;

Laminated flat bottomed stock with extra-wide ventilated forend
Target AccuTrigger adjustable from 6 oz. to 2 ½ lbs
Right bolt, right port short action receiver
Smaller ejection port for extra rigidity
30" Extra-heavy stainless barrel
Chambered in 6.5 X 284 NORMA
MSRP $1211

Stock is a bit funky to me though.

Here is the link, these are near the bottom

There are many threads here about this/these including info on the final version of the stock that will be sold with the rifles.

 

[Splatter]

I'm going to bet that those new target actions will be in pretty high demand.

One showed up at BRRC last week. Very nice. 6oz accutrigger was very sweet.

Not sure what the F(F) weight limit is. IIRC the F(O) is something like 20 Kg
Target Rifle is 6.5 Kg.

 

[Terry Perkins]

F/O weight limit is 10kg (about 22-lb) including all attachments.
F/F weight limit is 7.25 kg, or 8.25 kg if a bipod or front rest is attached to the rifle.

I don't think the Savage F/TR rifle with the usual attachments will exceed the weight limit.

 

[shotgunjoe]

The rifleby itself is 13.65lbs and in .308 the twist is 1-10

airborne... did they give you any ETA at all... like some time this season? I'm thinking there's going to be or there should be a lot of orders for the rifle... especially for anyone who doesn't want to involve themselves in the numbers game or piecing something together and then running around to find a smith to put it all together...

I think this is a great rifle to start out with and I don't believe it's an entry point thing... I think these will shoot darn close to top end f-open rigs...

choose the twist, length and caliber with some thought and you're good to go!

I don't suppose that there is a Left Handed version?

 

[mouse]
