Savage’s new sniper rifle: Model 10 BAS
Next year (2009) Savage will be selling a new “modular sniper system” called the Model 10 BAS (I have not worked out what the acronym stands for).
BAS/T (adjustable target-style butt-stock)
BAS (M4 style butt-stock)
The rifle is build on the Model 110 action and features the AccuTrigger and AccuStock. It accepts standard AR-15 butt-stocks and pistol grips. Two top rails and side rails allow for accessories. At a first glance this rifle resembles an auto-loader (and puts it out of reach for our Australian friends).
It also features a 24″ free floating barrel, Savages’ new proprietary muzzle break and a 10 round detachable magazine. I am not sure what calibers they are offering but looking at the above photos I would say it is a short action so they are probably offering .308 Win and/or .223.
The difference between the BAS and BAS/T models are the butt-stocks as seen above.
The rifle was developed for the law enforcement market. In the press release they did not explicitly state that the rifle will be available to civilians.
