MY new SAVAGE

Well, here she is. Savage 116FCSS in 30.06. This gun is exactly what I've been wanting. It has the accutrigger, the accustock, the new bolt release in front of the trigger guard, removeable centerfeed magazine, the new super soft recoil pad, the new smooth barrel nut, and I think the appearance of the stock is slightly different than recent models also. I already love it.
On a side note, ya'll ever notice that it is darn near impossible to take a good digital picture of a long gun. At least I ain't figured it out yet.

Don't seem right to see a Savage without the notches in the barrel nut!

Resize your pictures before posting...or take a wider shot...it tends to chop

Nice looking rifle...what ya gonna scope it with?...Y 30'06?...I figured you'd probably have 4 or 5 of those already

This gun will be getting used on a regular basis. We got serious problems up here with deer, hogs, coyotes, bobcats, and especially those bad guy paper targets.
The .06 is just a cal I have alot of faith in. I was torn for a while between it and the .308.
I'm a little scope poor right now, so it will be getting a 2 year old Burris euro-diamond 4x12x50 ballistic plex. I'm going to go with the Burris xtreme tactical bases. They'll give me a little more flexibility in the scope mounting with the long action.

Very nice! I have a older 110 in 30.06. Yours looks better than mine lol.

love the gun, and i must say savage has really impressed me over the years, they have to be one of my favorite guns to pull out of the box and shoot great groups with at the price they at. nice weapon, my next will be another 22-250 from them

Nice Rifle.

Thats a sharp rifle. I might have to buy one..Lemme think of the right excuse.

I, too, like the '06 .... everyone has their preference .....nice looking rifle you have there ....

I traded for a 116 FCSS 30-06 about a year and a half ago at the gun show. It was just before they came out with the AccuStock, so I've got the tupperware version. But it has the AccuTrigger, and it is a sweet shooting gun. I caught a steal on a Nikon Buckmaster scope someone was selling for $110 to top it off. It has become my go-to deer rifle. Congrats on a great looking gun!

Now where can we find spare magazines for these things?

Sweeeettt

Very nice!!!! I have one each in 243, 308, and 300WSM..... the 243 is the stainless similar to yours.... it and the 300 are tack drivers! (issues with the 308 -its the BTH model - need to pull it out and sight in again)

Very nice.

Nice, what kind of scope are you going to put on it?

I have a Burris euro diamond 3x12x50 with ballistic plex mounted with warne rings and a 1 piece warne picatinny base. I love the scope. It is very bright at dawn and dusk. It isn't loaded with eye relief though, so I had to go with the picatinny base on the long action.
