While the trigger isn’t particularly crisp, it is one of the best mass produced triggers I’ve encountered. The test rifle’s trigger measured 1 pound 14.3 ounces over the average of 5 pulls. The Accutrigger is surprisingly light for a mass produced rifle. In this event, the bolt must be recocked in order to reset the sear”. According to Savage, “the Accurelease will prevent accidental discharge by ‘locking’ the trigger when used properly, maintained and serviced regularly. Note the blade in the center, this is known as the Accurelease. The test rifle had its head space set at 1.631″+ from the factory. Other savage rifles will have grooved nuts to accept a spanner wrench. The Model 10 uses a smooth barrel nut, shown above. The Savage system has been borrowed by some gun smiths and barrel makers in what is known as a REMage conversion– a barrel nut system adopted for Remington 700 rifles ( click here for more info on REMage conversions). This is different (and less expensive to produce) than most other rifles, which have a barrel tenon and fixed headspace. Savage rifles are head spaced with a barrel nut system allowing for easy removal and replacement of barrels, as well as the ability to fine tune headspace. Note the checkering on the injection molded stock. My first impression was it looked pretty bulky, however, it was a joy to operate. Savage provides an over-sized bolt handle on this model. The threads were correct and in specification. I measured the test rifle with a set of 2A ring gauges. I’ve read some complaints about the muzzle threads on savage rifles being too loose.

The muzzle end of the free floated barrel is threaded 5/8″-24 for a suppressor or muzzle brake (SR= Suppressor Ready). The Model 110 was designed by Nicholas Brewer in 1958 and has been in continuous production since.Ĭhambered in 308 Winchester, the 10 FCP-SR is available with either a 1:10″ twist carbon steel 20″ or 24″ fluted barrel (the test rifle is 20″). The Model 10 is a short action version of the long action Savage Model 110.
