The Gun Pimp Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Just seen that Savage have introduced their answer to Ruger's tactical rifle at Shot Show Range Day. It uses an AR style butt and grip and an all-metal chassis but the action looks standard Savage - which is no bad thing - but will be 'factory blueprinted'. First chamberings will be 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor. See 6mmBR.com for more details and pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Looks good - we'll have to see the full spec though. I wondered if Savage would respond to the RPR - they seemed to have been caught out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 It's basically the same as the MDT LSS chassis, so not really much different from what Mossberg have already done with the MVP. I would argue that it's nowhere near as innovative as the Ruger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I agree - but it's a step in the right direction for those who are looking for a modestly priced factory rifle with all the whistles & bells....... Interesting to see what it sells for - might get Remington thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I think Ruger caught everyone a little flat footed with their RPR by tapping a market that no one had hit upon yet. It's no surprise that Savage has stepped up to the plate.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
