Deer season ended and it seems everyone and their grandmother is selling a Savage rifle on Midwestguntrader now. Makes me feel like one hell of an idiot, I paid $250 for a Ruger 10/22 and another $340 for a used Ruger Mk. III for Christmas, putting of everything on my wish list.
So seeing as I turned out to be the only one interested in shooting a pistol the Mk. III went up for sale and I'm looking into a Savage Rifle. It will be nick-named the "Macho Man" no matter which one I buy, but I have to ask:
Between a $625 .308 Savage 10 "Tactic" w/ Heavy Barrel, and a $400 Savage 110 in .30-06, is there a $225 difference? I mean am I really getting anything special for that extra $200? The owner of the .308 claims sub-MOA at 100 yards, but from what little I've actually seen I'm guessing Savage doesn't make a 110 that can't shoot sub-MOA. Also I can't find anything about the "Tactic" and it's magazine system. Standard 110's have an internal magazine, but the "Tactic" model has absolutely nothing on page one and page two of a Google or THR search.
This thread goes out to Savage owners. Winchester and Remington guys, please wait until the Savages are no longer loose.
