finally got to stretch the legs of my savage 308 today and was very pleased with the performance of this rifle. i bought the rifle new and didnt do the "barrel break in" just cleaned the barrel with a few patches then blew threw 50rds of various ammo to see what it likes. then ran a bore snake threw it twice and went threw another 50rds, it shot moa at 100yrds with any ammo but shot .5in with 165smk and 175smk naturally.even at 200yrds i was able to shoot inder 1in groups with the crappy noodle stock. after some upgrades i finally got to hit up a 500yrd range today and made my way out to 500yrds effortlessly. this rifle shoots dead on cold bore or 20rds later still ringing 4x4in and 6x6in steel at 500yrds. i ran threw 120rds today with only two passes with the snake, im in love with this rifle. im using factory federal 175smk ammo, choate tactical stock, egw 20moa rail, swfa low 30mm rings, ss 5-20 scope and cheap bipod with accu-shot monopod.
two shots low center and one on the top right bolt 500yrds
still ringing steel with hot barrel 500yrds
