Re: long range hunter/ man what a shooter
Hey everybody, just wanted to post an update on the rifle. Well it is now topped with a Huskema blue diamond 5x20 and shooting 185 Berger's at 2991 fps, and man does this thing shoot! It is consistently shooting 3 in groups at 600 hundred yards and beyond. I never was able to get my es down into the single didgets but got them down to 17 fps and the SD to 11. I took it coyote hunting two weeks ago and managed to drop 4 out of 5 dogs, The closest at 35 yards and the farthest at 663 only one I missed was at 950 and it was cause I missed judged the wind down range. this Is all from a stock factory rifle, only thing I did was have a break installed and minor bedding in the forearm area to stiffen it a little. I just want to say thank you to savage for building a great Rifle! cant wait for September and the backcountry Mule deer and Elk! ;D
