Overview — Precision Semi-Auto, Purpose Built
The MSR 10 Precision blends Savage’s accuracy pedigree with modern MSR ergonomics. Chambered in the immensely popular 6.5 Creedmoor, this rifle is engineered to extract the best performance from long-range match and hunting projectiles — delivering flat trajectories, high ballistic coefficients, and excellent downrange energy. The 22.5" stainless heavy barrel stabilizes harmonics for tighter groups, while the adjustable gas block lets you tune the rifle for different ammunition and suppressor use to maximize reliability and reduce recoil impulse.

Barrel & Ballistics — Built for Long Range
22.5" Stainless Heavy Barrel: Precision profile for improved harmonics, consistent groups, and extended barrel life. Stainless construction resists corrosion and simplifies care in field conditions.
Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor: Preferred for long-range precision shooting — offers excellent BC, reduced wind drift, and effective terminal performance for hunting and match use.
Adjustable Gas Block: Fine-tune gas flow to optimize cycling with a variety of factory and handloaded ammunition and to reduce felt recoil or gas blowback when using a suppressor.
Ergonomics & Adjustable Fit
Magpul PRS Stock: Micro-adjustable length of pull and cheek riser let you establish a consistent cheek weld and eye relief for precision optics. Designed for repeatable positioning for match-grade accuracy.
TangoDown / Match-Style Grip: Aggressive ergonomics for a secure hold during long strings of fire and in variable positions.
Optics-Ready Receiver: Full-length Picatinny rail and flat-top design allow one-piece scope mounts or ring setups for consistent zeroing and rapid optics installation.
Chassis, Controls & Match-Grade Features
Free-Floated Handguard / Chassis Interface: Reduces external pressure on the barrel for tighter and more repeatable groups.
Match-Tuned Trigger: Crisp, consistent break (factory spec may vary) to facilitate precise shot placement.
20-Round Capacity: Generous magazine capacity for competition and training (verify local laws and match class rules).
Right-Hand Configuration: Ergonomically configured controls for right-hand shooters — ambidextrous options may be available from Savage or aftermarket.
Practical Benefits You’ll Notice
Extended Effective Range: 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics paired with a long, heavy barrel provide improved velocity and downrange stability versus shorter barrels.
Tunable Reliability: Adjustable gas block allows reliable feeding across diverse ammo types and suppressed/unsuppressed operation.
Repeatable Zero & Shooter Fit: PRS stock and optics-ready platform let you lock in a consistent, repeatable sight picture for match performance.
Durable, Low-Glare Finish: Matte black coating on receiver and components minimizes reflections and resists wear in field conditions.

Long-Range Hunting: 6.5 Creedmoor’s terminal performance and the rifle’s accuracy make it effective on medium to large game at extended distances.
Tactical & Law Enforcement: Adjustable gas and robust construction support duty friendliness and suppressed operations.
Dedicated Training Platform: Semi-auto follow-ups and magazine capacity make for efficient practice cycles.
Accessories & Setup Recommendations
Optic Choice: Pair with a 3–18x or 4–20x precision scope or low-power variable optic depending on mission profile. Use a high-quality one-piece mount torqued to spec.
Bipod & Bags: Stabilize the rifle for bench or prone work with a precision bipod and rear bag to leverage the heavy barrel’s accuracy potential.
Ammunition: Test a variety of match and hunting bullets to identify the load that patterns best from your rifle — 6.5 Creedmoor offers many high-BC factory rounds as starting points.
Suppressor Use: If you plan to run a suppressor, tune the adjustable gas block for optimal cycling and reduced back-pressure.
Maintenance & Care
Barrel Care: Clean the bore with a copper solvent and follow with light oiling after prolonged exposure to moisture or salt. Stainless resists corrosion but benefits from routine care.
Gas System: Inspect and clean the adjustable gas block and gas port regularly, especially after firing suppressed.
Trigger & Bolt: Keep the action clean and lightly lubricated; check the bolt carrier group and gas rings periodically for wear.
Optics & Mounts: Re-check optic torque after the first range session; ensure mounts and rail interfaces remain secure.
