Love those rifles.
Hey Silver what u got on that stock looks like a Monte Carlo stock but also it looks like it's added on. Looks good. I'm also looking for something with a 20" barrel. Now i'm torn between a Savage 10fp and a Remington 700 sps Tactical in 308. I hear that the Remington 700 sps Tactical as a cheap stock. What made u decide on the Savage 10fp.
What make is the sling on the rifle.

Here is one of my babies:
Started life as a Remington 700 Sendero SF in .300WM, but quickly went to the shop for tuning. It was originally marine-tex bedded into a PSS long action stock, but I picked up with AI Stage II folding chassis and replaced the PSS stock a few years ago. I have adjusted the trigger to a 2.5lb pull. The base is a Badger Ordnance 20MOA forward cant base with Badger High rings holding a Leupold 4.5-14x50 mil-dot scope with a Premier Reticles FFP conversion. The first pic show it with a 10-round mag. The second pic shows the versatility of this rifle. With a 26" barrel and the chassis folded, it fits in a 36" Starlight case, along with 2 5-round and 2 10-round mags, bipod, TIS sling and the pods for the bipod. Weight for the entire rifle, with a loaded 5-round mag, is right at 12.5lbs, so it isn't exactly a lug it over the hills and through the woods rifle, but it has twice been out west and gets used locally for long range target and shots on deer when hunting power-line right-of-ways.

To be honest, I went with Savage because I know they are well known for accuracy and because it was what I could find. I tried to get the Rem 700 SPS Tactical for 5 months with no luck. I kept getting some wierd story that there are only so many made a year and that you need to be on a waiting list or be lucky enough to find a dealer with one (story courtesy of Cabelas). I finally gave up on it. The stock on the 10FP and the Rem are pretty much the same, basic plastic with light recoil pad. To notice a difference in stock quality you would have to get the REM 700 Police version. The cheek piece is a cheap neoprene sleeve (counting my pennies to get nicer stock). The sling is a butler creek neoprene, it takes a lot of weight out of carrying it. Overall I could not be happier with my choice and who knows maybe one lucky day I will find that 700 SPS and then I will have both.:grin:

Thanks for the comments, guys. I think everyone should have one...or two...well...at least a few anyway!! 
She is a shooter without a doubt. I usually run reloads in it, but it eats up FGMM and BH match stuff like crazy. A buddy just gave me a box of 180gr Winchester/Combined technology ballistic silver tips to try out...I can't wait to see how the slightly light bullets perform (180gr v. my usual 190gr loads).
Hey byrom1212...how do you like the JP Brake on your Remington 700 .308? I had one on a AR-10 for a while and took it off because the darn thing was so loud!! Great recoil reduction (I could easily spot hits on my target through the scope at 100-200), but not worth the noise and blast. It got replaced with an Ops, Inc. 4-port brake instead. Wondering if it was any less brutal on a bolt gun instead of a semi.

ive heard (on guntalk radio) that savage is coming out with a new rifle that has their own precision stock design that beats a lot of the aftermarket ones like HS precision. Anyone heard about it or know the model. I maybe be very interested in something like that

AMEN TO THAT!! I was wondering if anyone would post a bolt action classic like an '03 or '03-A3. That is the one rifle that I need to finish up my collection of infantry rifles. Had a deal on a cherry Remington 1903A3 in like new/arsenal refurbed condition and the seller back out at the last minute saying he needed more money after orginally agreeing to a price!! I haven't seen many bolt actions on the upcoming "hit list" so I have a few other priorities at the moment!!
Nice looking rifle, Amkus!!

Mossberg ATR-100 with a Simmons Whitetail Classic 6.5-20x50mm scope and Butler Creek flip caps.
It's cheap, it works, yes I painted the stock by hand, and I know I got some over-spray on the bottom of the scope, I'll either clean it off or paint the rest of the gun too. I haven't decided yet.
If I get another bolt gun, I'd like a Remington 700 with Leupold glass, a Harris bipod and some kind of McMillan stock.
That's tons of money though.
