Savage 110/112 reviews?

You won't find a more accurate gun for the price, actually you probably won't find a more accurate gun for twice the price.

I'm not just a Savage fan boy as I have more guns of different makes than Savages but I can argue that they are probably the most accurate major maker production guns on the market. I think that you can make other guns more accurate, you just have to throw more money at them.

That’s right in line with everything I’ve been reading and watching on YouTube. People seem to like them. I just like to ask lots of questions if possible of people more knowledgeable than I am. Long range (>400 yds) is definitely new to me! I value any and all advice!

I'd listen to what Fjold mentioned. Sound.

Repeater or single shot?

Savage has a model 12 magnum target Single shot.

[Maht_g]

Both bolt guns, 110 has the box magazine, 112 is single shot.

I have to say I REALLY like my savages. I don't have any custom actioned rifles to compare them to. The bolt might not be as smooth as my M70 or new Howa and they might not be as sexy as my R700's but they flat out shoot.

Id get the 112 Mag Target single shot if going 338 Lapua. The extra strength would make me feel better.

Bolt design is very similar. Id get the Savage but the Ruger Precision has a very good reputation in the smaller chambers.

Savage has a little coupon for some free gear with purchase of a gun.

the shirt is pick your size small to 3X plus you get a range bag.

Good to know, thanks! I made it to the lgs this morning, held it in my arms... felt good, looks like fun, a bit more digging on reviews then probably go back and make a purchase next week. Anyone with more insight on the gun or the cartridge please feel free to chime in, I welcome any and all input!

If you can swing the price difference, I think you'll be much happier with the RPR magnum. It's more expensive, but I think it's a much better deal. In addition to a modern action design, you get a usable adjustable stock, a 30 moa rail, and 2 Accurate Magazine AICS pattern magazines that are ~$180 for the pair.

I have 3 ELR rigs that are based on Savage donor rifles and have built 2 more for friends, so I'm not a Savage hater. Those rifles all have action work and XLR chassis.

I bought the RPR338 when they were introduced last fall and there simply isn't any comparison. I can't tell you how it shoots because I rebarreled it with a longer 300 Norma barrel before trying the factory barrel. I replaced the trigger, but it wasn't awful, and didn't have to rework the action. I expect that we'll start seeing barrel kits for it by the end of the year.

Recoil is an issue with the 338 Lapua, and the RPR adjustable stock is going to make it a lot easier to manage. The RPR338 is massive, which also helps with the recoil. The action, bolt, and barrel tenon are all larger than many custom 338 actions.

Once you get it, you'll probably want to start reloading for it. Not a whole lot of 338 ammo in Stanislaus. Think you'll have fun.
