Hi everyone,
I've been shooting ever since I can remember, my dad had a good collection of guns growing up. Most of my adult years have been handgun shooting at the range. I've always loved being out doors whether it be camping, hiking, fishing, diving or more recently overlanding (car camping with an ORV). This year I finally decided to get hunting. I took my hunters ed and got licensed. My brother-in-law met a few people with private lands and/or leases here in Georgia and invited me to go hog hunting. I found a used 2001 era Savage 111 in 7mm Rem Mag for sale and snatched it up for $350. I put the best scope I could afford on it (a Leupold american marksman 3-9x40) and am itching to take it out.
I found that I could find precious little information on the web about the gun (previous owner said it was really accurate, and had a trigger job done on it bringing the pull down to just under 3lbs. I figured I'd join this forum as a matter of educating myself, at least until I might have info worth sharing.
Thanks in advance, and happy to be here.
