Why I love Savage

[scooterf79]

Got to the range the other day to check a couple rifles for groundhog hunting. My favorite is a 112 22-250, first rifle I ever bought, just before getting out of high school. Bone stock with a cheaper scope and some 50gr vmax, and imr 4064
300yds 3 shots

Outstanding

you missed!

[scooterf79]

Thanks! I was pretty stoked about it. It spoiled me being the first gun I bought, I've had many since then and have yet to have one that shoots that well.
Foxx...would you believe me if I said there was a small bullseye right where those bullets hit ;)

Now that's a VERY satisfying group for 300 yards! I bet you slept like a baby that night, with good dreams!

Give it two clicks right and you're good to go :thumb:

[scooterf79]

Thanks! Oh yes...slept quite well...lol. I took care of the clicks texas, my 1st 2 shots were touching so I thought Id see if I could finish it. Moved it over and went to 400, groups were centered on the bullseye then.

[limige]

you missed!
Actually no thats a dead ground hog any day of the week

Outstanding shooting!

With groups like that it's only several clicks to have it hitting ANYWHERE you want!!!!!!:thumb::thumb:

Bone stock with a cheaper scope

Hey cheap is as cheap does right? SWEET!

How much IMR 4064? Will definitely try that load.

[scooterf79]

Thanks! I can tell a big difference in optics though since my newer guns have better scopes, but when it shoots like it does, I dont mess with it. I'm using 35.1gr of IMR4064, its by no means hot but runs around 3550-3600 with a 50gr vmax. I worked that load up right out of high school and never touched it after that, I saw no reason to.

You ought to start shooting that rifle in competition, that is phenomenal shooting. Some custom rigs cant do that well even with a seasoned shooter

[scooterf79]

Umm...i dunno about that, I appreciate the compliment but I dunno if Id be ready for any kinda competitive stuff :)
