Picked up my new toy today from PSA:

[specops56]

Savage 110 Tactical .308 Win

Next steps: Clean, lube, function test, mount scope, mount bipod, try to find where I stored all my .308 ammo.

I have several sitting around still in the box. I’m leaning towards the Athlon NEOS 4-18x44. My club range is limited to 200 yards so that should be sufficient. I’ll have to dig out my scope stash and see what all I’ve got.

Nice choice. My buddy picked one up for deer hunting and loves it.

You must be a fellow MCRC member! Don't forget about panteo down the road as well.

Nice rifle!

Yep. Been a member for 29 years now. I though about Panteo but, aside from the cost, it's about an hour away from me one way. I'm on the NE side of town about 5 minutes from Pontiac.

This is the scope I decided to adorn it with:

Got it ready for the range:

Raised the comb height

Monstrum Tactical G3 3-18x50 First Focal Plane with Illuminated MOA Reticle and Parallax Adjustment

The Primary Arms SLX scope scope I was originally going to put on it I had to return. The illumination and parallax knobs were so stiff it hurt my arthritic thumb joints to turn them. I’ve used Monstrum scopes and they are top notch. With Monstrum you actually get more than you pay for!

Magpul Sling Stud QD Bipod 6.8" to 10.3" Aluminum

Griffin Armament Taper Mount Linear Compensator Suppressor Mount. Future site of a Griffin Recce 7.

Nice setup. Please post your range results from the gun and the scope if you don't mind. I'm interested to hear how both do.

I was looking hard at a 110 Tactical in 6ARC, but went a different direction with the Bergara. Hope it’s a shooter, most Savages are.

I’ve been eyeballing the same rifle in 6ARC as well. @specops56 post up your range review. I haven’t ruled out this rifle yet and would love to hear how she shoots.

The 6arc savage shoots pretty darn good.

Did you change the factory stock? I was looking at it to try in the PRS production class and wouldn’t be able to put it in a chassis.

Will do! However, it might be a month before I can get to the range. Got a probate to close in Gastonia and some home repairs to get done first. I'll post results in this thread.

I ran it for a little but I think the cheek rest is too narrow and not very comfortable to me. I put mine in a krg bravo
