Here's one of my quick and dirty budget Savages...

Picked up an older 110FP rifle with rough looking bore and a very bad duracoat job. Cleaned it up, shortened the barrel, adjusted the headspace. It looked a lot better and shot pretty well. Bed the plastic stock, better. Picked up a cheap used Choate stock....even better still.

Had some old primed LC brass someone gave me. Loaded Varget and 4064 in 24, 25, and 26 grain loads with 53 grain HP Sierras.

Bottom Line - 26 gr of Varget shot 0.5 MOA at 200 yards. 26 gr of 4064 shot 0.75 MOA at 200 yards. Want to try 52 gr Sierra HPBTs next.

Would do better with a better scope. My old eyes needs better than the 10X I had laying around
