Savage is no stranger to bolt action rifles, so it takes a lot from them to impress me more than I already am. Consistently, I feel it is one of the most underrated brands; Savage has always delivered accuracy and solid factory triggers.

OVERVIEW

The GRS-10 in .308 Win. or 6.5 Creedmoor seems from first glance to hold up to that reputation. SHOT Show range day is no place to really test accuracy, but the trigger was fantastic. Even by Accu-trigger standards, this one stands out. I am not sure if we had a design change recently, or if this one just rolled off the line that good, but it was shockingly crisp. I was expecting to shoot a bolt gun, and my first shot still surprised me a little. Just the trigger group in this gun would be reason enough to buy it.

Savage Model 10 GRS Tactical Bolt Gun: Hands On—SHOT Show 2017

The Savage Model 10 GRS gives shooters a highly capable tactical bolt-action carbine with a highly advanced stock.

The rifle is based off the Model 10 and features the GRS stock to give you advanced capabilities. The rifle is priced at $1,499. The result is a lot of gun that delivers when it counts.

OPINION

What makes this the GRS-10 and not Model 10? Glad you asked. GRS is a small Norwegian company that makes stocks, and that is the dress this Savage is wearing. The GRS is fully adjustable with the press of a button, for cheek weld and length. The stock is a little bit thicker than what we see in a traditional hunting rifle, but I really liked the feel of it for tactical or long range competition. It looks a little unorthodox from a traditional monte carlo style stock, and features a sort of pistol grip. But it is also not as space age looking as the currently popular chassis systems. There is a lot to like in this package, and I am looking forward to running some more rounds out of the GRS-10. It comes standard with a threaded barrel, and is detachable box magazine fed.

PRICING & AVAILABILITY

At an MSRP of $1,499, it is certainly not a cheap gun, but you are getting a lot for your money in this purchase. Keep an eye out on the Savage site as well as GunsAmerica.com for more info in the future.
