Savage Model 10 7mm08
The Savage Model 10 is a short-action bolt-action rifle from Savage Arms, part of their renowned 10/110 series that traces its roots back to the original Model 110 design introduced in 1958. The Model 10 was specifically developed in 1998 as a refined short-action variant (for cartridges like .308 Winchester or smaller), distinguishing it from the long-action Model 110. It's celebrated for its accuracy, affordability, and user-friendly features, making it a popular choice for hunters, varminters, and entry-level precision shooters. The 7mm-08 Remington chambering adds versatility, as this cartridge (necked-down from the .308 Win) delivers flat trajectories, mild recoil, and excellent performance on medium game like deer, hogs, and even elk at moderate ranges (up to 300-400 yards).
Savage rifles in this lineup are known for "button-rifled" barrels that provide sub-MOA (minute of angle) accuracy out of the box, often without needing extensive bedding or tuning. The AccuTrigger, introduced in 2003, is a standout feature—it's user-adjustable (typically 1.5-6 lbs pull weight) for a crisp, customizable break that enhances safety and precision by preventing accidental discharge under stress.
