took out hunter xp in .22-250. sighted in and switched to loads i worked up for a remington i used to have. all i have done to the savage is tighten everything up and clip a couple coils off the trigger spring. put up the first group in the 0.3" range. wow.
ok my $400 rifle shoots like a $2500 custom. nice. i keep buying different brands but each time i buy a savage they do stuff like this. eventually i am going to learn my lesson.
Sweet..... I have the same problem. Hard learners I guess..I had big plans on a M 11 243 to make a full custom 243 AI, ended up shooting the factory barrel and it shot well under .5 so I just had it rechambered and crowned, now with a little load work it will shoot bug holes with 87gr Berger VLDs. I think Im going to buy one of those in 223 for my go to calling rifle.

PM me your address. :)
If I can ever get rid of my Remington 700, I'm getting another Savage.....
Kewl I know what you mean I have one for sale and Im about to start dumping the price just so I can get the cash out of it to build another savage. this addictions is getting alittle crazy......
i had another hunter xp in .270 last summer that put the first 5 group at 100 yards into about 3/4" and that's way way beyond what i'd expect to get with factory ammo!
The only rifle that I have left that isn't a Savage, is my old 10/22. I am contemplating selling it for a Mark II... LOL.
