My first precision rifle was a 10BA in .308.
I hand loaded for that rifle and it was averaging about 0.6 MOA. At around the 4,000 round mark the groups started opening up.
I got an IBI 1-10” twist 26” barrel that was never installed on a Canadian EE.
I haven’t shot it a lot recently since I have a bunch of other rifles.
What I liked about the Savage was that I didn’t need a gunsmith to rebarrel the rifle.
I ended up buying a second 10BA in 308 because it was near new and I planned to rebarrel that on into a 6.5 Creedmoor.
I then bought a Savage 110BA in 338 Lapua Magnum because it was nearly new and very cheap. The first owner only fired 10 rounds out of it.
I then bought a Savage 12FV in 6.5 Creedmoor (Cabela’s special) I put it in an MDT LSS-XL and I shot these groups during load development.
I ended up installing an IBI 1-8” twist.
