Pleased with Savage MKII-TR

[Huklebry]

So far I've added a Vector Raptor 4-14X50, bipod, sling and a bunch of ammo types.

I've had it for about a month and have shot about 2000 rounds through it. Just getting comfortable.

I shot the target below yesterday with Ely Match.

Could you post a larger picture of the target shot?

Is that a USA 50? What distance and position?

Re: Pleased with Savage MKII-TR

Sorry the first picture was truncated.

The target was shot at 25 yds (Via Nikon 550 LRF),90-95*F, 5-7 mph wind mostly at my back.

I shot the target while sitting on a folding chair, bipod on sturdy table, nothing super pro...

now that I'm confident in my ammo I'll move the distance out to 50 yds and repeat. Might need a different target for 50yds, this one might be extra difficult. Any suggestions?

4-16x50? Shoot that target. No problems at all. I shoot my 4-16 sightron at 50 yards for the smack the smiley contest. No problems at all on "litle" targets.

I believe Nike said it best, "Just do it".

No fliers... all 10's... That's some nice shooting!

Thanks, the rifle fits my needs and has preformed as expected. I need to adjust the trigger down, I haven't touched it yet, it's probably 4.5-5 lbs out of the box.

I need to adjust my trigger down too. Nice shooting though! Have any plans to join in on the rimfire comps here?

Nice looking rifle. It appears to shoot straight.

My bottom metal just arrived from DIP. http://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=164879&CAT=3602

It will go on tomorrow, then I'll try to drag my father in law out to a P-Dog town. I'll post pics if we get lucky...
