I'm betting this rifle with it's 22" barrel will be much more civilized.
I'll sell the Springfield to cover the cost of the Savage.
I'm having difficulty picking a scope out of my pile of scopes. I have a 4-12X40 AO Tasco on it now, but I cannot seem to get the eye relief right. I know I have the right Weaver mounts, 46 for the front, 61 for the rear but the scope just barely fits between the rings.
I'll come up with something, I have 2 drawers full of scopes in my gun chest.
I'm gonna check out those Hornady loads. I tore my left retina a few years ago and I'm a bit concerned about heavy recoil doing damage to an already damaged eye.
