Savage Arms is best known for its high-quality bolt-action rifles, so when the company announced earlier this year that it was entering the AR market for the very first time, the industry sat up and took notice. This year at SHOT Show, we got a look at the new Savage MSR (Modern Savage Rifle) line. There are four offerings in the Savage MSR family: the MSR 10 Long Range and MSR 10 Hunter in .308 Win. and 6.5 Creedmoor, and the MSR 15 Recon and MSR 15 Patrol in .223 Rem. Check the video above for a quick rundown on the Savage MSR 10 Long Range.
