finally got to the range the other day and very impressed with my .308 Savage Axis

[2111 Marine]

this is from the other day at 100 yards sighting in and using Winchester Super X 180 grain ammo . I just put (6) rounds on this target that i modified so i could use less ammo to sight in , The target is gridded off in 1/4" moa so i could walk the rounds quickly into the bullseye . as you can see rds # 2,3 impacts are only 0.577 inches apart and the bullseye is 0.185 inches off from being dead center of the bullseye ,rds #5 & 6 were flyers do to very strong gusts of wind that came up and stopped shooting after that

forgot to mention this was with a 6-24x50 scope set on 24x and i could easily see my bullet strikes from 100yrds and once i got sighted in i was having fun hitting the 3" dia metal gongs at 100 and 200yrds . Also my Rifle has a Witt Machine bolt on muzzle brake so it felt like i was shooting a .223 or smaller caliber rifle

Nice!

What brand scope?

I saw that Witt Machine brake in another pic you had posted of your rifle; it looks very impressive. Good to know that it's effective as well.

it's a 6-24x50 scope from UTG and has very crisp/clear glass plus i like the adjustable parallax , the Muzzle brake makes the .308 feel like a much smaller caliber rifle

Nice! I got horrid results from those 180's so I'd bet it will only get better for ya.

i going to try lighter loads next time like 150 or 168 grain or whatever is available in the Walmart ammo case next time i look for ammo

They usually have some federal match loads but for $30 a box. Federal 150gr blue box are decent under $20 and my personal favorite 165gr bonded "DeerThug" around $23.
