New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
Didn't want to malign a good company so thought I'd post the outcome. Got the rifle back on Monday. Savage said they could find nothing wrong. Took some 168 Fed gold to the range and fired tiny groups at 200yds. So, at the risk of ridicule the problem was me.
Turns out it really hated hunting...
I just went thru the same exercise. Considered Zeiss, Swarovski, bushnell and leica. Was really impressed by the bushnell fusion 1 mile. A total step up from the previous generation. Great glass. For the money I don't think it can be beat. $1,200 for the ten power.
Just bought this in 308. Thought it would be a great starter rifle for tactical/practical matches. Put an optic on it an it shoots 6 inch groups at 200 yds. Tried 3 different types of ammo, checked receiver screws, scope base etc and tried a different optic. Same 6 inch grps.
I bought it...
Colt sent the car 1516 for my wife to test. I think it'd be a great ranch gun. Less than $1k. Here's her review: Colt CSR-1516 ? Joe Biden Would Hate This. Perfect. | 30 Cal Gal | Rifles & Competitions
There's also a video. It's a less than 1 moa rifle.
The load that holds the current 300 yd record 200-19x is
46.5 varget
Nosler 155 cc
Lapua brass
210m
15k off the lands
30" 1:13 krg barrel
This pretty much a standard Palma load.
Fwiw
