    Looks like a perfect build.If when you are experimenting with different weight bullets ,try the 168 grain match loads or bullets if you reload.
    Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!

    I'll give those a try, I also picked up a few hundred 178gr BTHP's that I've been shooting through my gas gun that I'll try through this too.

    My entrance to the savage world

    Just got it glass bedded, accuracy tightened up to 0.96moa. Will start to do some load development to see if I can get it even better
