savage model 110 243

[7mm ed]

what do you guys think of it? and is it a good deer rifle?

[dbllunger]

It will work fine.  If you are buying a new one I prefer a larger caliber.  The 243 is a great all around deer (closer ranges and broadside) and varmint gun.

well thats what i was hoping for . I picked one up at the gun show here in chehalis today for 200 . thanks for the info

Well if you don't like the caliber you can rebarrel for around $200
7mm-08, 308,.358,or .338Federal all are just a barrel change. There are others that will fit also with just a barrel change.

thats what my friends dad does. baught a savage and got 7 custom barrels made for it. all #2 contour fluted barrels. custom light wieght stock.

it's a model 10, not a 110...not that it matters much i guess. 110 is long action, 10 is short action. i have one in the same caliber courtesy of bankwalker that shoots lights out. great gun for the $$$ and for the ease of customization.
have fun with it.

If you look at my photos you will see the one I did some work on. Took the stock barrel off and put a flutted heavy barrel on it and camo work. They are great shooting rifles. Mine like 100gr sierra'a best.
