Savage 10TR le/military
- Thread starter damullet
- Start date
Because Savage said so.
The suspected intent is that by offering these to military/LEO's, good words or high reviews on it from these members may eventually lead to Savage landing some sort of firearm deal.
Why are these only available to le/military?[/QUOTE

Haha, hilarious man. I’ve been pretty vocal about this subject, think I even got an infraction over it, but I just don’t care anymore.
Got mine : It's rough compared to my other Savages but you know what.... It's a great entry level rifle that can be improved on so I'm with you Mr Donut. The only thing I really didn't like was the amount of play the bolt has in the action prior to lockup but alas.... It is what it is. The finish is nice and although the stock isn't my McMillan, I can make it work!
First thing, the action will be getting bedded with Devcon. Once that is complete I'll worry about removing the "whale snot" as someone referred to the packing grease in another thread LOL. The stock will be getting our team paint job, Harris bipod, TacPro (I'll promo one of the board dealers SFRC
) cheekrest, tactical brake and I haven't quite decided what I'll be topping it with but it'll be something FFP. I'm really liking the Sightron scopes as they are excellent value for the money.
I'll be using this one for more tactical application (which is why I'll try to groove with the factory stock - want to keep it light) so If it will hold .75 MOA after that... I'll be as happy as a pig rolling in my own turds
Stay tuned for some pics and AAR once I get a chance to put some down range.
For the nay sayers.... I would equate buying this deal and then stomping on it to picking a scab until it bleeds and then complaining. Cheer up boys... Try to see some good!

Crap! If I didn't know better it would sound like the barrel was crossthreaded or messed up threading of some sort to be off that much or a bent barrel!
SOOOO, other than that,,, were the groups good!?!?! ;0)
, Sorry had to say it, I am sure savage will be in a huge hurry to fix this!

That totally blows man. Was there any visible damage on the package or was it buggered up from the factory I wonder. Either way, that sucks the big one, having waited so long. Hope it all works out in the end for you man.
I wouldn't worry to much, these things happen and I am sure Savage is rushing to figure out what happened and fix it for him and if it is a manufacturing problem the QC people will be getting a kick in the A$$, these are supposed to be put out there as a sort of tester to LEO and MILITARY! Most reviews are great gun for the money, if we see more of this then maybe you should be concerned but I doubt it, to much at stake for Savage!

Awesome to hear, I knew they’d get that sorted out for you. Hope you get your replacement soon.
There ya go see, now It would be nice for savage themselves to come up with an explanation to quell fears!
Personally I think they got it mixed up with the secret 10-TR-90. It can shoot 90 degrees around corners! Secret Project!
