What are differences between Savage 10FP-SR + 10FCP-K ?

[elicitone]

I am looking at one of these two being my first long range guns, and was hoping to find a little input on them.

Other than the DBM and the muzzle brake what is the difference between these two rifles? Well that and almost $200 on the price tag? Are they essentially the same mechanically?

Same guts as the entire Model 10 and Model 12 lineup. I can't see how accuracy would be any different.

The 10FCP-K has a fluted barrel, muzzle brake, the accu-stock and a detach mag where the 10FP-SR doesn't.

I am leaning towards the fcp-k due to the accustock and DBM anyways, but was wondering what is the advantage to the fluted barrel?

They say it's for heat dissipation and weight reduction.

The FCP-K also has a longer barrel and used the bottom bolt release.

If you want to upgrade the stock later to an aftermarket stock then the FP-SR would be a better option due to it's side bolt release.

If you are leaving the gun stock then the FCP-K is probably a better gun. If you are looking for a starting point to something else then the FP-SR is the way to go.

FCP-K is a great firearm. Stick with that. Some of us are waiting for some new stocks to come in for it. The AICs for one.

The current AICS Savage model won't work with the bottom bolt release. I'm not sure AICS is planning on supporting the bottom bolt release.
