    Incredible range report w/ 12 LRP


    I've had a Savage 12 LRP in 6.5 Street cred for about 9 months. Optic was a Vortex Razor HD II (Which has an open center in the reticle)
    I since have been converting this gun into an F-Class F-TR rig - First thing I did was put a Benchrest scope (Vortex Golden eagle) on it. Meaning, second focal plane with just a tiny wire thin cross-hair.
    I went out today to zero the scope. The flyer you see is me walking it in, and the group in the middle is FIVE rounds.

    This gun has always shot amazing groups but damn what a difference the "right" scope makes.

    I have a Criterion FTR .308 tube sitting here waiting to be installed but I have a match next weekend and don't have time to break-in/load dev/etc. Now that I know this thing shoots so damn well I might just order a Savage target action and keep this gun as it is... or sell it.. Don't know. I hate to dismantle it when it's shooting like this!

    Shoots nice. Id leave alone for at least the first match. See what it does once you start climbing in round count. My savage barrels tend to start drifting when they heat up. Not all but some. My 338 didn't settle in until a few rounds. Throw a couple 22 + round strings on it and she'll give you an honest performance on how it handles heat and fouling. My criterion handles both very well

    With the diameter of the barrel it should take quite a while to heat up,fouling is a different story. The barrel on my LRP was horrible.

    "...shall not be infringed" What's the confusion?

    So was mine in 260. Replaced it with Excalibur and all is well.
