Was visiting the local gun store here in "West Jeff" last week, and spied this little gem of a rifle sitting on a rack in the corner, so I'd like to share it with you all.
It's a (NIB) Savage Tactical Model 110FP, (pre-Accutrigger F529XXX) Long Action, Heavy Barrel in .223 Rem! No kidding! I had been looking for a CZ Lefty in .223 to pair with my CZ American, but then - this, and the price was right. $500. Not bad for a rifle that, by the letter prefix, was manufactured sometime between 1995 to 2002. Savage made three different twist rates during that time, but I'm guessing it is 1:9 since it's in .223 Rem, but I will have to do the twist test to find out for sure.
As I have several Savage firearms, and have never been disappointed in their accuracy, I am pleased as punch.
I'm just waiting for the picatinny rail to arrive, so I can mount a scope (a Vortex) on this bad boy. It has the flat back on the frame.
Deer Creek, here I come. (Well, when it opens in March).
Here are some pics.
