5/8-24
thank you
Now if this darn gun would arrive!!!! Found ammo from a private seller getting rid of his overage supply. Have optics, bases and rings,
Have all my stuff except the horse!!!
what ya shooting with it? squirrels?
hopefully ELK!! Maybe Mulies too. Little much for Whitetails but with lighter 185 grn loads it would be ok.
buymore, it's not "too much" for deer. I use my 358Win with 225grn SGK's on whitetail. The thing about a heavy, slow moving bullet, 2,500fps or less, you can hit shoulder bone, anchor the animal right there, and not hurt any meat. For the same reason, I use 220grn SPH in my 30/06. I just bought a 444 Marlin barrel for my Handi Rifle and I can't wait to put a 265grn slug through "Bucky Buck" and see the results. It's a great feeling to look through the scope after you've broke the shoot and see you've knocked him off his feet, and not destroyed any meat. :-)
yeap, slow moving heavy bullets are great for least amount of meat damage and eat all the way up to the bullet hole.
well I'm certainly anxious to get my rifle. I can hunt West Virginia Whitetails with it, so it may get a trial run this fall on Whitetails and Elk or Mulies next Oct. Not even sure I'll buy a muzzle brake but wanted to find out just in case. I would think that somewhere in the box or right on the thread protector it would say what the threads are but since I didn't see on Savage website anywhere I was going to assume it would let me know.
