My Rifle

[Quackaddict]

Now that I have the kinks worked out I figured I would post up a pic of my rifle and show her off a bit.

This rifle started off as a savage 10FCP HS in 308 win, I added a Bushnell 6500 4.5-30 on an EGW Base and use Burris signature rings. I shot it box stock like this while I tooled up for relaoding and figured out where I wanted to go with it.

After some time, I decided to change a few things I didn't like. The Trigger got replaced by a SSS unit (very nice btw) and I also added one of thier bolt knobs (not a fan of the big ball savage uses). AWS hooked me up with a brake and I had it installed by a local gunsmith. An eagle stock pack and some krylon and I am happy with the setup so far. I use it as a varmint rifle and the brake is nice for spotting shots.

For ammunition I am running a 155 scenar over varget in Lapua brass, it is very accurate out to the 400 yds I can shoot to, looking for land I can get to 600yds on. Im not a super shot but I can put rounds in a 4 inch circle all day once I get the windage right.

5 shots @ 100yds.

Going to try some of the XBR 8026 in the next few days.

Re: My Rifle

Its always nice to see another nice looking, sweet shooting savage out there. There are so many great shooting savages and stevens's around these days I don't know why so many people still bash them. Jealousy maybe? or just mad that they spent 3 times as much for the same performance? who knows. Sweet rig and very nice shooting.

Re: My Rifle

Nice rifle, and a good shooter.
I am still building mine.

Savages are looked down upon because the little people keep hitting targets that they have no right to be hitting for less than $600 in glass and rifles.

Re: My Rifle

i keep wishing i had went the savage route instead of my rem 700. It literally came down to flipping a coin between the 2.
Nice package there.
That doesn't sound good but yall know what i mean.

Re: My Rifle

I think you'll find that the "Real" experienced and knowledgeable guys here don't "bash" Savage at all....

Re: My Rifle

ha ha yea they can bash our savages all the want. my savage is an awsome shooter and im sure that in the capable hands of a better shooter than me it is capable of shooting with many rifles that cost a hell of alot more money.

Re: My Rifle

Thanks guys, I am almost set on doing a rem 243, but this one shoots so good I might have to say with the dark side....
