    I was just asking about this. Where exactly were you thinking? As long as its within a reasonable distance, I'd be in for sure!

    I would be interested depending on when...assuming there is no gun show conflict in Springfield or KC.

    300 AAC Blackout Chambering Cancelled:


    Some time ago, Savage announced it would be chambering the Model 10 Precision Carbine in 300 AAC Blackout. Since that time, we have tested many variants of this cartridge in various barrel lengths and rates of twist. This exhaustive testing left us quite unsatisfied with the accuracy we were able to get from the subsonic loads in this chambering. Accuracy with the lighter, faster loads in this caliber was actually quite good. But we believe the real value in this cartridge lies in the use of subsonic loads for suppressed rifles. Therefore we have decided to scrap the project.
    It is our understanding that pushing these heavy, slow bullets presents challenges not found in typical loadings and that our experience is not unique. Subsequently, many in the industry have simply adopted a lower standard for accuracy for these subsonic loads. While this does seem reasonable and we don't criticize any in our industry that have taken this approach, it just won't work for Savage.
    Our brand was built on accuracy and we are too protective of our reputation for building the most accurate factory rifles available. We would rather walk away from this opportunity than sell a product that requires an explanation.

    Where would be outside of lake of the ozarks. When would be left up to vote. The range has other things go on so we would have schedule around that but it would be free or very minimal cost. You can camp there and there is a kitchen etc too. We need more interested than three to make it happen.

    If this is still being kicked around, may have one more. Hard to say what I will have time for, gonna be settling back into things after being gone for a year, and have house renovations, getting ready to go back to school, blah, blah. On the positive side I won't have to take time off from a job I don't have. Anyway, I'll keep a lookout to see if this is going to happen, Ozarks is too easy from the KC area
