Have you guys seen this video yet of the captain of the Savage Shooting Team shooting an off the shelf f/tr .308 and hitting steel plates at 1169 or so yards. They are filming a Savage commercial.

I am 72 and that's not your old savages. I was never a fan of savege till about a year ago when I first got my Savave F class 6BR. All the other rifle makers are going to have to go a long way to compete with Savage. Lou

I have a Savage F/TR in .308 and would like to know his load data? I guess he was using the 155 Berger or the 168 Berger VLDs and probably 45 grains or so of Varget? I have just starting playing with mine and it is showing great promise with RL15 and 168 SMKs. It is great to see that sort of precision shooting with a Savage.

Assuming that the barrel length was 26" or better, in a .308 the 155g Berger VLD would probably be close to subsonic at 1200. I'm guessing the went with the 168 VLD. Be nice to know what the load was. In any event that was good shooting. ::)

First off VERY NICE SHOOTING BUT what i see is not an F/TR BUT a NEW PALMA Rifle as it has an adjustable cheek and three way adjustable butt, did anyone notice the bi pod he was using looks like the new Sinclair but not sure as asked by ThorBird i also have a 308 F/TR and want load data PLEASE so i can use it at the Pa Shoot out in JULY

Yes balljoint, that is a sinclair rest. I want one. That is the new model rifle, the palma you mentioned. I couldn't think of the name for it. I love that adjustable check piece.
