Our Assessment: Savage has been making firearms of all varieties for nearly 130 years, and the 10 series is for all intents and purposes a ‘value’ or ‘budget’ line of rifles. In this case, ‘budget’ can be taken with a grain of salt, and the word certainly isn’t an indicator of quality. When a company has been making firearms as long as Savage has, they have in their corner a level of infrastructure and manufacturing capability that few companies do. The 10BA is an affordable sniper rifle that uses Savage’s modular action system to easily accommodate a variety of cartridges such as .308 Winchester, as this example is chambered for. This rifle is in wonderful shape with the most notable wear being in the bore, which some TLC will make a huge improvement. Good luck and happy bidding!
