Precision Carbine

[nomosendero]

Anyone tried this one yet in 308?

No, but I'd suspect that it's just a gussied-up Model 10FP, which has a reputation for very good accuracy.

I'd bet that the precision carbine is a fine shooter.

I suspect that too, but wanted to hear from anyone that has one.   Here it is:

It has alot of features I am looking for. There have been some issues with the Accustock, but an "improved"
version is being shipped to them now according to a Savage Rep.

Really?  what have you heard?  I have an early version of the 10PC in .223, and would like to know what to look for.  thanks.

Have one and it is the most accurate out of the box gun I have ever shot. 
I use it for hogs.  The only issue I have with the stock is that the barrel favors the left side of the channel big time.
It is free floated and not making contact anywhere.  It shoots so well I don't want to mess with it.  Just looks odd.

Here is a link & note that there is another link within that thread, pretty much covers it:

Thanks for the info. Like you, I don't want to mess with something when it works.

Like I said, I sure like the specs.

Thanks Nomo.  I did take mine out of the stock when I first got it to adjust the trigger a little bit and also to put a coat of wax on the stock.  When i put it back together I strictly followed the instructions.  I do remember it took me a couple of tries to get the clamp clamped.  Most of my load development (believe me, not too much as it shot great with my first try) was after that.  I'm getting 1/2" 5 shot groups with 55 VMax's and Varget, so it must be OK.  But after reading those posts I'll not be removing the stock unless absolutely necessary.
