Savage Precision Carbine .223

[Klondiker]

Hi there,

I'm just wondering if anyone out there has any first hand experience with the new'ish Savage model 10 precision carbine in a .223?

Any opinions on the accu-stock? How is the weight for a carry rifle? Likes or dislikes? How is the oversize bolt handle?

Thanks

Its a very nice rifle. I have one in .308 and would pick one up in .223 if I didn't own a 12Fvss. (Would trade the 12Fvss for one)

Are you using factory ammo or are you handloading? What kind of groupings are you getting?

Factory Silvertips gave me a .866 group on a very windy day. Will have Match grade 168gr stuff by the weekend so may have a much better story by then
