My new old Savage Range report.

[JoshcBoucher]

First time to the range, with an older 110v I picked up, in .223. Bone stock. No bedding work. Original trigger, etc. I have to admit: I was pleasantly surprised. After a fouling group, with some PMC factory loads, and some minor scope tweaking, I started shooting . I was using some hand loads that worked in my Remmy. First 3 five shot groups went into a quarter. Thinking I might have a shooter on my hands, I concentrated a little more, and put 2 groups into a dime. I'm thinking these Savage guys might have some thing, here.

The targets went in the range trash can. I'm not bangin my chest, here. I just wanted to mention that it was surprising for me. Mention Savage, here, and some guys treat you like you screwed their sister. This is my first Savage. After 6 Remys.

My dad is a huge fan of Savage rifles. As he likes to say (and I don't know where he got this quote): Savage-cheapest way to MOA. Glad the rifle is working out so well for you. They make an outstanding product, IMO. Happy shootin'.

Always has been, all my old savages were ruff and not so pretty but when it came to putting your money where your mouth is-they were usually the only ones left talking!
