This came after I installed a rifle basix trigger. I always seeme to throw one out of five. I shouldnt get so excited when a group goes this well.

I love this m-10

This is going a little sideways. You guys are all shooting the .308. I want the .223. You can't get the FLP(the flp is lefty) from Savage with the Choate or the McMillan. The OEM stock from Savage seems to be universally despised. I do have one aftermarket stock in mind but I would like to hear your suggestions. Also more about the Nikon and fluting the stock barrel.

I have the 10fp in 308 also. Have not really noticed a lot of recoil..probably because mine has the longer barrel..Only time my shoulder has been sore is when I shot a box of 180gr ammo. I generally shoot about 25-30 rounds per "session" without any issues.
I love this gun, it is far more accurate than I am. I have a Bushnell Elite 3200 fixed 10x scope with mil-dot reticle..it can be had for about 190 and is quite nice. I am not a seasoned shooter, but this rifle has put 3 shot groups under .75 MOA quite a few times..I am getting better shooting from bi-pod and expect to see those numbers consistently before too long. This thing eats cheap ammo well, but I think I am gonna start getting better match ammo..seems like when it heats up, there is 1 of 4 that is thrown a little off..only about 2" though so you can still take down a whitetail with no problem at 100yrds.
I just recently painted mine cammo..when it is finished I'll post some photos..still needs some darker green, reds , etc for this southern red clay, etc.

mine has never seen factory ammo.
i measured the chamber and jumped through a buncha hoops to make the very best ammo i could for this particular rifle.
now i get upset if it doesnt group at around 3/8 in.@ 100 yds.

Can you explain to us newbies what you are referring to? Why measure the chamber and what kinda hoops were involved?
Just curious as I know very little about reloading, etc.
