message: The terms tactical and sniper are usually pretty interchangable. FrankWilliams 20:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They are interchangeable in some circumstances, not in others, for example where I live tactical rifles are legal, while sniper rifles are not. The manufacturer describes the rifles as tactical, so in absence of a verifiable source per WP:VER we should use that description. Arthurrh 20:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

text: It would be interesting to hear what others have to say on this issue. This is a rifle described by Savage as "tactical" and I feel it should be covered that way in the article. Others feel that the terms are interchangeable. Comments from anyone else? Arthurrh 16:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Thanks, I know where you stand on this, and I know where I stand on it. I'd like to hear from others as well to see what they think. Under your definition, what is the difference between a varmint rifle and a sniper rifle? Arthurrh 23:58, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In such cases, it is preferable to use the same designation that the manufacturer uses, namely tactical, as that is their description of the rifle, whereas the sniper in the context of the stock is referring to the stock and not the rifle. In addition, different people define things different ways, so manufacturer designation is preferable.--LWF 01:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Tactical vs. Sniper

message: I have made several changes to the page:
*updated infobox to match all other firearms articles per consensus of the firearms project
*fixed improper capitalization
*updated available models per the manufacturers website
*corrected out-of-date or incorrect features per the manufacturers website
*added references
Please do not simply revert these changes. If you have a good reason why some particular aspect of this should be different, fix it and give the reason. We all want the same thing, the best article possible about the Savage 10FP. Arthurrh 20:45, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page changes 

message: If you feel the infobox is missing items, there are a couple of good options. One is to go to the template talkpage and suggest they be added. This is probably best since it will help everyone. I have found that someone there usually does such work fairly quickly. Another option is to make a separate table in the article that contains the extra data. Arthurrh 16:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox 

message: I'm sorry but once again I had to remove: 
The tolerances for this rifle are such that the receiver and bolt are specifically manufactured for each other. Both have the same serial numbers etched on them in order to match each other correctly . The bolt is NOT interchangeable with other rifles even within the same model.
Because I have this rifle and know for a fact that there are no serial numbers on the bolt. I couldn't find any source that says such a feature exists. I removed it as unsourced per WP:VER. If you can find a reliable source, then you can put it back in. Arthurrh 16:45, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good job on the source, having the link to the user manual is probably better than the label, so maybe you can remove the original one and just leave the link to the user manual. Arthurrh 16:43, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Frank, don't you think we should have a "See also" section for this rifle? What suggestion do you have for things not already mentioned in the article? Maybe other similar firearms? Arthurrh 00:10, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  See also section 

message: Frank, I'm assuming the picture here is your rifle. Do you have the adjustable buttplate or cheekpiece on your stock? Would it be possible to take a picture showing close-up in use and maybe put in on wiki commons so we can have an illustration here? Plus a higher resolution picture would be great if possible. I have the crummy basic stock. Accurate, but not attractive or adjustable. Arthurrh 16:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pictures 

message: The last paragraph in the "sight" section is trying to convey that the gun does not come with any sites because it is expected that a shooter will add his own.  I think you agree with this.  The other point I'm trying to make is that customization of guns particularly Sniper and Tactical guns  is very important.  I'm trying to convey to the non-shooter that shooters preferences are highly subjective and personal.  If I haven't said this or if it isn't clear please change; but please don't delete because of it's importance. FrankWilliams 13:35, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Sight Paragraph

message: Preserving here by providing this link. My rationale was: "WP:CATALOG: excessive and promotional detail; uncited; unneeded self-citations". Please let me know if there are any concerns. --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:35, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
