New Glass for the Savage

[reeljob]

I took the plunge today for a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 mil dot. This is awesome glass and is comparable to my Leupold MK4 in clarity. Got it sighted in and paralax adjusted. I think I am going to like this scope. I put my 6500 back on the .260 and waiting on my 20 MOA rail for the TR and it will be ready for some long range plinking!!

Nice looking rig, reeljob! I would be interested in how the Viper runs out with the 20 MOA rail.

Re: New Glass for the Savage

very nice indeed! How much elevation are you expecting with the 20 moa rail?

Re: New Glass for the Savage

The Vortex specs state 68 MOA adjustment and the Mark 4 has 70 MOA. I have been running a Elite 6500 with 78 MOA on Weaver style two pc. bases and getting to 250 and still have plenty left. I should be able to get past 300 with out the 20 MOA rail.
I will let you all know soon.

Great looking set up. Bang for the dollar performance with great optics. Good luck with the 300 yard groups!

Re: New Glass for the Savage

bone stock savage TR? is there a go-to list of upgrades that is common on these rifles? Considering ordering one......and still waiting for my Vortex viper PSTs to arrive.

Very nice setup! I like the rings too. I was able to get out to 300 with my 3200 and I believe that was only 50 MOA. So I don't think you will have any problems.

Re: New Glass for the Savage

I agree with the others. That is a great looking stick. What is the story behind that bolt handle? My 93R17 bolt doesn't look anything like yours.
