Get some decent bases, rings, glass, (mine has a US made Burris Fullfield 2 4.5-14x42 in Leupold rings and base), Shoot it, and work up a load for it.
12BVSS just like it came from the factory. (of course I turned the accutrigger all the way down)
That's 8 consecutive shots at 120 yards from a sand bag, loads were done on a Lee Anniversary Kit with a Lee Deluxe die set (hand loading is the biggest accuracy improvement you can make to any properly functioning rifle) ,empty the mag, reload and empty the mag again, Squares are 1" and yeah that's a dime placed on the target for size comparison. And it shoots like this all day long and has for well over a decade. Not just a wallet group, it really does this all the time, every time, with this load. The only "building was the load and I have found that to be true with nearly every Savage I've ever owned. Like a good Savageaholic I have modified many of my rifles to suit my taste, but to get them to shoot well It always seems to be more in the load than the rifle.
