SAVAGE 300 Mag.

by Author Unknown


Savage arms (renowned for sporting rifles) has for the first time since W.W.II built a military grade weapon. Designed as a heavy assault weapon, the 300 Mag is the choice. A new heavy-duty composite frame increases concealability while incorporating a sliding stock as standard. It integrates Gas Vent 4 and shockpads to reduce the heavy kick. Add built in smartlink II, mini gyro and you have a powerful accurate assault rifle that can pull down the biggest of targets. If needed it can even double as a light sniper!

Type Conceal Ammo Mode Damage Weight Avail. Cost Street Index
Assault / Sniper 2* / 10** 24(c) SA / BF 12S 5 15/21 7,500 4

The weapon offers the equivalent of 6 points of Recoil Reduction, integral flash suppresser and sliding stock with shock pads standard. Advanced features include a autostabilization stock (which compensates for 2 points of movement, no recoil benefit) plus a reactive trigger / speed loader which fires a four round bursts per simple action (damage - 16D).

Apply a +2 modifier for any uncompensation recoil. It will only accept bottom mounted accessories like the optional bipod, (conceal -2). This weapon uses sport rifle ranges instead of assault.

* Decrease concealability to zero when the stock is extended.

** Breaks down for high concealability requires four complex actions to reassemble when close at hand (you need to get it out of your pack or case first chummers).

* Rumor has it that this is quickly becoming a special operations favorite

* Another semi auto sniper rifle? The ammo’s not big enough and I doubt it has any kind of accuracy. And why use this as a sniper rifle its not even silenced?
* Sniper

* When you consider that you can slip it under a long coat just as easy as a shotgun, it’s all worth it.

* Oh great another high brow sniper. This is a combat weapon, for use on a battlefield. Great as a supporting heavy weapon for small unit activity. It has it all, heavy fire power, Smart Link II, movement Gyro, and gas vent IV, all of the cool tricks. I added a bipod and modified the sliding stock to absorb extra recoil.
