Thu, 15 Sep 2011 07:24:43 +0000 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/?p=3820#comment-71494 Gary D., I think you took my comments completely out of context. All I meant is that this rifle is so heavy I would find it difficult to see someone carrying it around all day on a hunting trip. This rifle is so accurate that I think anyone that wants to enter the world of competitive shooting should own one. It certainly levels the playing field on extremely long shots! I think people get to wrapped up in what other peoples exact words are and miss the whole meaning. In fact, I was complimenting you on your selection of rifles. The only thing I was referring to is that Savage lists these rifles under their law enforcement series and thier accuracy makes them a perfect addition to a SWAT or other tactical sniper teams arsenal. Once again, congrats on a fine selection and welcome to the club of ownership! Gary D.,

What is wrong with a good target shooter having a good rifle to shoot good groups. That is like calling a an AK or other similar rifles an assult rifle. No rifle has pointed itself at someone and pulled the trigger and assulted someone. A person had to point and pull the trigger to assult someone. . Any weapon could be called an assult weapon, {Politics} because the end result is a bullet going down the barrel. That is why we have the NRA around, to protect our rights to own and carry a weapon. What is the differents of an AK shooting a 30 cal bullet at you and a 308 semi shooting at you? I do not agree with Gregg E comment of this being a Law Enforcement rifle.

It sounds like you are enjoying your rifle by putting all that lead downrange every week. You are absolutely correct about the cost of .338 Lapua, the cost would be about 4 times that of the .308. This is definitely a law enforcement rifle. There would be no sport in shooting a deer or other wild game. Now that I have made the transition to civilian law enforcement my department is a true force to be reckoned with! Thanks for your comments! Welcome to the club GARY D.!

(The scope was more than the rifle) This rifle was shooting sub moa @ 250 yds with store bought ammo. Out of the box. When using reloads 168gr BTHP, 165gr BTHP and 145gr, after working up to the right powder load using H335; all shots would touch each other with any of these bullets. A lot were so close to being a hole in a hole it was hard to see until you walked up to the target. The rifle is very heavy but a good target or sniper rifle is, but this is very heavy. I will be taking the butt stock off of mine and putting on a MAGPULL225 butt. The cheek rest is a little flimsy and sharp. At the time I bought mine there were 2 calibers; 308 and 338. I went with the 308 because of the price to shoot and the price to reload. The 338 is so expensive it is not feasible to shoot as many rounds I do a week. 100-200 per wk. I would go broke shooting the 338. With the ACCU-TRIGGER, this just adds to the beauty of the rifle. The trigger pull is so smooth and touchy, you can feel everying.

They are far superior to the magazine that came with the weapon and half the price of Savage mags when you include shipping. Get them while you can, because these mags are going fast everywhere! Even the ones priced at $122 can't keep up with the demand. Even though it's a bolt action weapon, magazines can and do wear out. Always keep a few spares in the range bag just in case...

Sun, 06 Jun 2010 23:51:23 +0000 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/?p=3820#comment-35597 I love your comments cobraman! As a former "southpaw" sniper and current competetive shooter, we do have the best of both worlds when firing a stock AR-15 or Bolt action Precision rifle. I added the Magpul Precision Rifle Stock Gen 2 to my Model 10 BAS-K and LOVE IT! No modifications necessary and it looks like it came standard with the weapon. Here are their words about it and they are 100% correct, "The Magpul PRS (Precision Rifle / Sniper – AR15/M16 Model) is a drop-in, precision-adjustable butt stock for rifles with A1 / A2 fixed stocks. Designed to offer the fine-tuned, customized feel of a precision target stock, the PRS is adjustable for both cheek riser height and length-of-pull without sacrificing the durability necessary to withstand the operational environment." Of course, it requires a full length A2 buffer tube, but who doesn’t have a few spares lying around. Right now you can get your hands on one of these babies for around $190 which is far less than the $250 I paid when the mad rush was on. The only thing I can say is that it turns your rifle into one solid platform from its machined aluminum butt-plate to the muzzle! If you want one and are looking for the best deal, do a search on MAG307-BLK PRS. Your search will fill up a few pages so you can shop around. Enjoy your rifle and thanks for the valued input!

The Savage stock is cheesy and the cheekpiece is tapioca, but I made a large improvement by moving the cheekpiece 180 degrees and mounted it on the left side of the stock. I did this by bolting a plastic Weaver style rail from my local Cabela's to the left side and made a few minor modifications to get this to work. A person unfamiliar with the weapon would not know that it isn't factory equipment. I do not buy left handed weapons because in every shooting position except standing, a lefty has certain advantages with a right-handed scoped bolt rifle. They are: You never have to take your trigger hand off the grip in a shot string. (use your right hand to rack the bolt.) You do not have to lift your head if you need to look into the chamber. (A right handed shooter will have to lay the rifle to the left or raise his head to look around the scope. I almost think it would be better if right-handers shot left-handed weapons. If I'm going to shoot standing I go semi-auto (M1A). I hope this helps. Some day I will get a quality buttstock and if I have any interferance between cheek and rest, I will modify that one too! Bob;

While I don't own a BAS yet, I do have a Savage/Mike Rock competition F-Class, no beauty ring required and it's as ACCURATE as it gets. Savage has been under-rated for far too long. I've seen a lot of postings on the stock, I too have a stock issue. I have an Cobb MCR, with a Vltor stock that doesn't fit Me. Thinking of adding an adjustable comp butt plate. Anyone have advice ?

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 09:46:15 +0000 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/?p=3820#comment-29014 Sorry Bob! Unless you have something in your bag of tricks, then the answer to that is a big NO! Stag Arms makes a left-handed upper for their AR-15's, but the butt stock is the same standard "one size fits all". Along with some other BAS-10 owners, I find the Magpul PRS stock to be a top notch upgrade for this weapon. All of the adjustments are out of the way and make the stock very comfortable to obtain a good cheek weld. It's going to set you back a few hundred dollars, but not only does it work and feel great, but it looks like it was made for this weapon platform. Of course as Rob P. has stated above, you will need a full size buffer tube to install it, but you will not be disappointed! Someday, I would love for just one company to come out with a customized left-handed thumbhole stock for the AR-15, but in this crazy economy I don’t see it happening. There was one right-handed version a few years back, but it was a complete failure. Good luck in your quest, but it’s a right-handed world out there brother! I’m just thanking God that I still own my weapons and our freedoms haven’t been completely eradicated yet, but I feel that time is against us on that issue with the way this so called “Congress” is circumventing the very Constitution that they all took an oath to protect and defend to cram anything they want through the system just to get it signed into law by the most Un-Presidential individual in history! God Bless America! We shall prevail when all is done, but they will rue the day that they touch my gun! (I just made that up, but I think I’m going to put it on a t-shirt!) Sorry Bob!

I haven't heard anything from Savage to even suggest that there will be other calibers available. This rifle in a .338 Lapua would be a dream, but VERY DANGEROUS in any type of urban scenario. There would NEVER be a situation for a Law Enforcement officer to make a kill shot at a mile. Because this rifle is designed for Law Enforcement sniping, it just won't happen. But don't worry; with a good scope and match grade ammo, you can shoot through the same hole for a long time with more than enough firepower! To back up my claim you can read the following clip from Sniper Central @ http://www.snipercentral.com/338.htm Recommendations: For military extreme long-range anti-personnel purposes, the .338 Lapua is king. Even the .50BMG falls short (Do to accuracy problems with current ammo). This caliber is not recommended for Law Enforcement. Just buy one and enjoy it!!!

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 12:08:15 +0000 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/?p=3820#comment-22979 To Matt T., The CAA ARS Sniper Stock AR15/M16/M4 might look cool or seem like something you might want on this weapon, but put it on only if you are going to shoot holes at paper at the same range all of the time. It is a good target stock, but the problem is the tripod situation. What I mean by that is that you have no way to make a very rapid up or down correction for a shorter or longer shot. I am very familiar with this stock and a buddy of mine has one mounted on his Bushmaster Varminter. The leg from the tripod gets in his way every time he has to make a quick adjustment from a 100 to 800 yard shot. You will have to take quite a long time to get it set up to make up for the distance. Don't get me wrong, for target shooting it is great, but if you need this weapon in a real world scenario, the stock will slow you down and could get you killed. I don't mean to sound like Mr. Doom and Gloom, but have you seen what is going on in this Country lately? As a trained military sniper of over 16 years I wouldn't spend that kind of money on something better suited for a camera. You just need to ask yourself one question...Do you think that you may one day need to kill someone or several individuals with this rifle to defend yourself or your family and then take another look at this stock. I always take the real world approach because that is what I was trained to do. Either way, enjoy your rifle. You already made one fine choice! To Matt T.,

The CAA ARS Sniper Stock AR15/M16/M4 might look cool or seem like something you might want on this weapon, but put it on only if you are going to shoot holes at paper at the same range all of the time. It is a good target stock, but the problem is the tripod situation. What I mean by that is that you have no way to make a very rapid up or down correction for a shorter or longer shot. I am very familiar with this stock and a buddy of mine has one mounted on his Bushmaster Varminter. The leg from the tripod gets in his way every time he has to make a quick adjustment from a 100 to 800 yard shot. You will have to take quite a long time to get it set up to make up for the distance.
