I was looking into purchasing a SAVAGE 10 FCP-SR .308 and wanted to see if any of you had any opinion on this rifle? It is on sale for 584.00 which seems to be a good deal.
Here is what it is that is for sale - SAVAGE 10 FCP-SR SHORT ACTION BLACK SYNTHETIC .308 WIN 24-INCH 10RD THREADED BARREL
What are your thoughts?

That's a good deal. Savage rifles shoot lights out.

Had one, which was as accurate as any rifle I have ever owned. Really regret selling it.

I have a .308 cal Savage 10FCP with the 11.25 5R rifling and H&S Precision stock; and I absolutely love it! Bolt isn't as buttery as some other rifles but the way it shoots more than makes up.

Thank you for your posts. I think I will go ahead and get one!!!
I already plan to put a muzzle brake on it for the time being. Can any of you recommend one?

I have several different types of brakes and all of them work, but I think I like the Precision Armament M-11 the best. It's a good combination of recoil reduction, muzzle lift reduction, and aesthetics. Plus it doesn't have any ports on the bottom, which is important if you plan to shoot from a prone position.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

How would you compare the 20in to 24 in barrel? I plan to get a muzzle break and eventually purchase a suppressor when finances allow.

If you're getting a suppressor go 20" How much of a change in accuracy should I expect?

Barrel length doesn't affect accuracy (except when it is extremely short, like <10"). And one might even argue that you would see less of a shift in point of impact with a shorter barrel because it would be deflected less by the weight of a suppressor than a longer barrel.
