Available in .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor, this is one of the few semi-auto guns we saw released in the 6.5mm cartridge. The MSR10LR comes with a host of features, and is a side-charger for manipulating the bolt. I am not huge on the side chargers, but it has become very popular in recent years. It is not something you normally see at this price point either.<\/p>\n<p>Range day is no place to truly test accuracy, but Savage assures us this will be where they make their name among ARs. 5R rifling, Melonited barrels, and a long history of making AR barrels for other manufacturers promise to bring tight groups. This is what Savage is famous for; one ragged hole at an affordable price.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_68932\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\" title=\"A Savage Take on the AR: The MSR10 Long Range .308\u2014SHOT Show 2017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68932\" title=\"A Savage Take on the AR: The MSR10 Long Range .308\u2014SHOT Show 2017\" class=\"size-full wp-image-68932\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM.png\" alt=\"A Savage Take on the AR: The MSR10 Long Range .308\u2014SHOT Show 2017\" width=\"1200\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM.png 1200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM-150x83.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM-400x222.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM-1024x567.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-68932\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The author had a chance to try out the MSR10LR on the range at SHOT Show 2017 and is excited about doing a full test on it.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We will have to wait and see, but we should be doing a full review on this model in short order.

With Savage in the AR game now, the AR world may get stood on its head.","og_url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/","og_site_name":"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica","article_published_time":"2017-01-28T16:50:43+00:00","article_modified_time":"2023-08-20T16:52:08+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1200,"height":665,"url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM.png","type":"image\/png"}],"author":"Clay Martin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@https:\/\/x.com\/wayofftheres","twitter_site":"@gunsamerica","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Clay Martin","Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/"},"author":{"name":"Clay Martin","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#\/schema\/person\/2d1bfff6535fbff35f392292b3a6438a"},"headline":"A Savage Take on the AR: The MSR10 Long Range .308\u2014SHOT Show 2017","datePublished":"2017-01-28T16:50:43+00:00","dateModified":"2023-08-20T16:52:08+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/"},"wordCount":554,"commentCount":35,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM.png","keywords":[".308 Win.","7.62 AR","AR-15","Buzz","Feature Articles","MSR 10","savage","SHOT Show 2017"],"articleSection":["Authors","Clay Martin","SHOT Show 2017"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/","name":"A Savage Take on the AR: The MSR10 Long Range .308\u2014SHOT Show 2017","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM.png","datePublished":"2017-01-28T16:50:43+00:00","dateModified":"2023-08-20T16:52:08+00:00","description":"A Savage Take on the AR: The MSR10 Long Range .308\u2014SHOT Show 2017 - Authors","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-26-at-9.34.38-AM.png","width":1200,"height":665,"caption":"The author had a chance to try out the MSR10LR on the range at SHOT Show 2017 and is excited about doing a full test on it."},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/savage-take-ar-msr10-long-range-308-shot-show-2017\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"A Savage Take on the AR: The MSR10 Long Range .308\u2014SHOT Show 2017"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#website","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/","name":"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest","description":"Gun Reviews, Industry News, and Product Reviews for Rifles, Pistols, Revolvers, Shotguns, Optics, and Ammunition.
