Did I read somewhere that Savage includes a test target with their target rifles.....similar to Cooper? Does anyone have a picture of one? Are they shot at 100 yds?

I have bought 3 new savages in the last 4 years and none of them included a test target. They did include a ready to shoot target with the trigger lock and earplugs.
Did you buy 3 target rifles, or just normal rifles?Quote:

I suppose they would use them for advertising or propaganda. They are titled "give us your best shot".
They are black on yellow paper with a 1" grid, two black concentric rings with a yellow bulls eye. I suppose they were intended for 100 yards.
Like everyone has stated, I haven't seen a fired target with any Savage rifle yet. I haven't purchased any of the target models though. Oh, Cooper's included targets are not at 100 yrds, somewhere around 40 yards (42 I think).
I just got a Special Order- 14 American Classic in .250 Savage (Sweet rifle by the way) It included a 3 shot test target shot at 100yds. It was .7"- 2 close together than 1 opening it up.
Savage only test fires guns from their custom shop, or guns that have come back for repair. They have a 100 yard range, that is inside a tunnel. From what I have been told it is on the second floor, and the do test firing on 2nd shift. The firing makes a lot of noise. The gun is strapped into a vise, with a 4 power scope, and fired at a target. The fire at many targets until they get one they like. They are 3 shot targets usually around .6. They cut the target out and staple it to paper work with ammo specks, date and other information.
This is what a target looks like.

When I sold firearms for a living a customer purchased a .308 that had accuracy problems. It was sent for Savage to check out. Upon it's return from Savage in the box was a test TGT with a 5 shot group not a 3 like the other mfrs do. Now to my that says volumes for Savage.
As one that is an accuracy nut I was impressed and my customer went away very very happy! :)
