I handloaded for mine using Sierra 174 grain Match Kings and it would shoot a consistant inch at 100 yards.
Vietnam Vet, Jun 66 - Dec 67
#32 MkIII
The correct #34 MkII was in England having a chipped lens replaced when the photo was taken..
The 174g SMK is the name of the game.
Sometimes the 150g Game King SP with flat base is a good choice for older barrels ..
I would ask why stop. The average $45 #4 from a pickle barrel twenty years ago can run $450+ today.
I never looked at like an investment but having a bit of history. My old Savage 110's feel the same to me today.
I have enjoyed the You tube videos of the Savage assembly and production lines over and over. Especially the barrel making and trigger fitting.
Well worth the time to watch.
