Reply With QuoteVery nice. Glad you enjoy it.
I picked up an M11 used several years ago. It shot well when I bought it. A friend made some ammo for me and it is a hoot to shoot. I shot it today at 100 yards. I used an NRA OFFICIAL 25 FT. QUALIFICATION TARGET. The bullseyes are the size of a dime. The center target was fired first and it was a devil of a time seeing the shot holes, even with a spotting scope. The lower right target was shot with a hot barrel. I am happy with it!
Very nice. Glad you enjoy it.
They are fun. I have 2, a Model 10 and a Model 11.. Next try some 60 gr and 69gr bullets.
We did try those. This loading works best for me in this rifle.Originally Posted by KMW1954
Looks like it is a shooter.
Had an 11 and the 55gr Australian Outback was outstanding in it.
Guess you don't then.
This is 200 yds with a 69gr.
ADI ( Used to be Australian Outback ) 69 grain SMK has been super in my Model 12 LRPV out to 500 yards. Even with a 1:7 twist, it`s been more consistently accurate than 70+ grain factory loads so far.Guess you don't then.

Our range only has 100 yards...........��Guess you don't then.

Again so the issue is moot and has no relevance. Happily for me our range goes out to 300yds with plans to expand it to 500/600yds. My Model 11 does not like bullets lighter than 55gr. so there is a difference between yours and mine. Shoot'um up and have fun!

Yes, I will shoot the 52 grainers and have fun. Our range keeps making noises about building a 300 yard range, but that seems to be all they are doing.
I would like to shoot longer ranges just to see if I still can. We used irons in the Corps out to 500 yards, not sure if I can see that far anymore........He11 to get old!
One thing for certain. I'm not giving up my Savage! Matter of fact I still want 1 more.
I paid $350 for mine with the Nikon 3X9 scope on it. Had a Harris Bipod laying around looking for employment and a leather sniper cheek piece for an M1 Garand doing the same thing. Both are now fully employed and I am liking it. May go to a Grandchild when I take a dirt nap (hopefully not real soon).
The model 11 I have came as a barreled receiver 243 with the barrel in unknown condition. I just wanted the action and trigger. Paid $150.00 shipped to my FFL. It now has a Model 12 26" 223 Varmint barrel, Boyd's At-One Thumbhole stock, Athlon 10-40X56 SFP scope and Harrid bipod.
I have a 36X Leupold that I thought about putting on it. But the restricted field of view bothers me.
Can understand not doing it for everyday use. Mine is strictly a Bench range rifle. Shooting .5MOA targets at 100,200 and 300yds. On my Model 10 I have a 8-34 FFP scope and at full magnification the reticle covers and hides the bull. With the 10-40 at 300yards I can see 22cal bullet holes in the paper. It's a ton of fun and with the 223 relatively inexpensive.
This is my bench rested toy. A Winchester 52D with a 25X Lyman SuperTargetSpot scope. Is a hoot to shoot with a 1 ounce trigger. And the recoil is acceptable. That is a five shot target.
