    Savage 12 F/TR .223

    You will need to shoot 80grain;s to do anything at 1000. your savage will be fine; 77 grain to 600 will work. My savage shoots well to 1000 with 80G@2920. It has a shilen barrel with a wylde chamber[80 grain rounds are long: 2,50.

    Why no love for Shilen barrels?

    Range Report The Hornady 140 amax ammo. The OLD VS THE NEW

    I think a few people on here are a little naive.I do not reload or have much interest in doing it [I like to shoot]. Example: Black Hills has access to "powder" that no one on this sight has.[Hornady may also]. I know this because I acquired some of the rounds that BH made for the AM Team...

    Rifle Scopes LR Optics with Red Dots

    I would buy a 16/24 power scope with a red dot if the dot was small enough.I think on overcast, rainy, days you could get on target faster.
