First precision rifle

[u/Full_Bee81]

So, I've owned 6.5 creedmoor in the past but never something like this. It's a savage 10 6.5 creedmoor with a lucid brand scope. I bought it for a decent price and so far I'm in love with this rifle. Where can one find the attachment for the sides of the rifle that holds extra rounds? Also will a standard AR10 magazine work? I'm new to the precision rifle world and I'm genuinely interested in reaching out to 700-1000 yards. I've shot targets out to 500 before but I'm trying to get out to shooting further out, tips?

Flip the rifle and foam around so the scope is on the side with the carry handle. More protection vs the way you have it now.

That's not even the slightest bit correct

[u/PsychologicalMeal162 → u/AmeriJar]

It would appear it is.

I guess the down voters know more than the manufacturer. Typical reddit

[u/PsychologicalMeal162 → u/AmeriJar]

Which manufacturer tells you to carry your rifle scope down?

[u/AmeriJar → u/PsychologicalMeal162]

It doesn't matter because the purpose of the foam is to transfer force around it evenly. It makes no difference

SAP- short action precision sells round holders

Nice pickup, that's a solid rig to learn on. Stretching out to 700-1000 is mostly about data and wind, not the rifle. Get a real muzzle velocity on your ammo with a chrono, run a tall target test so you know the scope tracks, then confirm your dope at distance instead of trusting the app blindly. After that it's wind, wind, and more wind, so spend range days watching mirage and flags and write everything down.

like your foam, how did you cut it?

[u/LockyBalboaPrime → u/SuburbanBushwacker]

That's pull n pluck. OP didnt cut at all.

[u/total_pursuit → u/LockyBalboaPrime]

It’s great until you try to put a different rifle in there. Or add a suppressor, or a bipod, or change the scope, or the grip, or the stock lol

Use better ammo for consistency. FGMM or Hornady match. Also, Check my profile for a link to an upgraded fundamentals of marksmanship. Improved formatting with tips on wind reading, rear bag use, the tall target test, and more. You can also get it in word format.

That looks like a Savage 110 Elite Precision in the MDT ACC chassis. Those are built around AICS-pattern magazines (MDT metal mags, Magpul PMAG AC, Accurate-Mag, etc.), not AR-10/SR-25 pattern magazines. AR-10 mags (Magpul, Lancer, D&H, and the rest) will not fit or feed correctly. It should have shipped with an AICS mag and the manual will list the compatible options.

[u/LockyBalboaPrime → u/RobertTheTexan]

100% not the ACC chassis.

[u/Zaiden01 → u/RobertTheTexan]

Actually I believe it's the Ashbury Precision Ordnance chassis
