Very 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.
Looks like it is a shooter.
Had an 11 and the 55gr Australian Outback was outstanding in it.
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).
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.
