Well I have been reading the forums here for quite awhile. About a month ago I bought my first savage a model 10 fcp he precision. I have been working up a load for it and settled on one that shoohts the 175 smk's pretty well. Today I went to the range to figure my drop to a 1000 yards. After a little shooting I had it and shot a 3 shot group. After driving down to the target to look I had to wonder why it took me so long to buy a savage. 3 shots 5" even. Not bad for a factory rifle. I'm pretty sure it wont be my last savage. I know, I know, 3 shot groups don't count. :) :)
