I know that the XM2010 was to be fielded to some units already, has anyone recieved them yet? I have used one but it was only for a few days and I was woundering if anyone had any pro's and con's about them?

Not yet, but looks like a nice addition.

I would love to shoot that, but I don't think I will ever get to being in a BSB unit attached to an FA BN.

Looks like I need to start sourcing parts to build one for my safe at home

 

A Remington 700 SPS in 300 Win Mag is my next order at the PX

I used this rifle during the 2013 International Sniper comp. and these are the things that I noticed.

-The upper and lower have four bolts that HAVE to be tourqed DAILY.

-The can is great but MUST be tightened with the strength of Thor to get the "last click".

-If you use the old tourqe wrench DO NOT turn it until it clicks as this will cause the nuts to back out a small bit.

-The .300 is a major step up from the .308 as most of you already know.

-1,400M is almost childs play for this system

-It is a bit heavy but that is to be expected, I like the fact that you can fold the butt stock but you will want to use a sling whenever you move over any good distance with it.

-The H-58 is being taught at both school houses as well as the Mil-dot and both schools have the 2010 so shooters are getting time behind them and can be used as SME's to us older B4's

-the can does not come apart from what I remember but you can use WD-40 to clean it and will not harm the inner workings

-The butt stock is fantastic and fully adjustable however after being bumped around, the settings will loosen up on you.

-I know that the first rifles fielded to the group guys had a problem with the flash suppreser coming off when they tried to take the can off because you had to tighten the can down SO much. And the carbon build up would almost weld the can on. But I think that has been fixed.

 

Anything esle you want to know please feel free to ask, I don't have much time behind the gun but I will help anyway I can.

The SASS is a great rifle but in my opinion it is no an all around rifle that the Army is looking for, it is really only great out to about 800, after that it leaves something to be desired. It is great for rapid engagement or in the city but as far as a long range persicion rifle...Not so much. I will take the M24 or the 2010 all day as far as service rifles go. Don't get me wrong though, you can reach out past 800 with the 110 but you better have perfect conditions.

Great system and the H58 is pretty remarkable itself. I do however prefer the mobility of the SASS and can stay consistent out past 900. On another note... They dropped the X off the M2010 so that means they should be appearing in the near future.
