I am a custom rifle stock painter for a local stock maker here in Kansas City, and i'm the only Savage shooter in the whole place, and they rip on me constantly.

There will come the day that they stop laughing. Was out shooting this past weekend in the 20 degree weather to get cold temp chrono data, and check powder charges at those temps to get the target velocity back, and fire 2 groups back to back just over 1/4". I'm hangin' in with the Badger M2008 custom GAP rifle of my boss.

For the most part, if I go out and shoot groups all day, I can pretty much guarantee that the average will be 1/2" or slightly better. Last outing was 10 groups, .497" average. Oh, and not all were the same exact load. I'd say i'm a consistent 1/2moa shooter. The rifle is better than me, I just have to drive it better.
