Savage Model 10 recommendations?

Post by fordj » 02 Oct 2013, 6:33 pm

Hi all,

I've been shooting solo for a while and it's time to get the missus a rifle of her own. .308 just has too much bang for her.

I've been shooting Tikka but am keen to give something else a go for the experience while I have the chance. Not often the wife encourages you to buy another rifle ;)

Savage gets a good wrap from people obviously. What does everything think of the Savage Model 10?

Thinking of something in 22-250 so she can have some fun without recoil, but still but some critters on a serious shoot if she comes out.

Thoughts?

Oh, and picked the Model 10 because of the wood stock.

Any recommendations should be w/ wood stock, not laminate or synthetic.

Cheers.

Yep, nothing wrong with the Model 10.

You could look at the Ruger 77/22 as another option.

Doesn't come in 22-250 but does come in 22 hornet which should serve well enough as her first rifle if she'll only be out for varmints.

Just something to look at anyway.

Only comes in synthetic stock though right?

That ain't no good.
