nice! that looks like a ton of fun

At 4900 feet to target or 9 tenths of a mile,that is some fine shooting.

While it is fun to plink at long ranges (probably one of the funnest things to do) it is an immense and expensive job to make first shot MOA hits at truly long ranges. Having precise ranging instruments is necessary and taking as many reads as time will allow is really the only way to even have a chance at landing first shot hits at those ranges. Sorting and loading with accurate instruments to a precise degree that many would never attempt for lack of patience. Shrinking a load's extreme spread where vertical is minimized as much as possible. And the list goes on and on and on.

Now shooting "groups" once you have walked your way onto target is a whole different thing - but part of the process in learning how to connect the first time or every time in a certain accuracy bandwidth - not to mention changing conditions.

I'm not a long range guru but I know how hard it can be to make first shot MOA hits (precision not grouping) from 850 and on, because I only allow myself to advance another increment of 50-100 yards if I can hold 3 shots in 3/4 moa or 5 in 1.1 moa (based on precision from POA, not grouping).

I really am thankful that there is a company that listens to its customers and has allowed a lot of us to procure fine firearms for a fraction of the cost of the old benchmarks. I've been wanting to buy one of the 110 .338s but have been worried about the lug set back issues I have heard from guys that have actually shot the rifles over 600+ times.


If anyone has info on Savage's response to the problem, that they were going to redo the heat treating proces, I'd appreciate a link - not meaning to hijack ::)

And man wouldn't it be nice to have a range like that? I live in a part of the country that is so quartered off you can hardly shoot past 7 or 800. :'( :'( :'(

Good heavens. That is some shootin'. And here I am happy with sub MOA at 100 yds. That 2,0050 yards is 2 towns over in this densley populated area of NH.

Is your scope mounted on the factory base and is that an Mark 4 ert or lrt

[slurpin dog]

Wow! What fun. Don't matter to me if they call it long range plinking or what ever, you are out there doing it and not talking it to death. ;D Shooting like your doing is no accident. Keep up the good work. When you going after the 2640 yarder?

That's just good stuff, right there. ;D

The savage 110ba 338LM comes with a 20 MOA base (5.8mils) and the scope is a Leupold mark 4 ER 6.5-20x 50mm TMR

Thanks Ron. I need more elevation. At 2050 yards I needed 23.3 to 23.5 mils. The Leupold was at 12x at that range, so I can use the 10 mil line on the duplex to hit the target. the savage come with a 20moa base. I have been looking at the 20 moa mount from LaRue. With that mount it will give me 21.5 at the crosshairs and with 10 mils reticle hold over might get me out to 2350yards. The new Leupold mark 8 scope have 20mil at the crosshair with 0 moa base. I heard you can get close to 35-37mils at the crosshairs with a 40 moa and plus an extra 10 mil reticle hold over you can shoot a very long ways.
