WNY_Whitetailer Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 This is the first trip to the range with my new Savage rifle. I mounted a Mueller Tactical APV 4-14x42 scope on Burris XTR low rings. I am shooting Hornady 168 gr BTHP Match ammo out of her. You can see how I walked the groups in to the red dot in the center... The bigger squares are 1"x1". So, it looks like I have the shots in about a 1/4". I ran out of the Hornady ammo at that point or I would have tried a few more with that three shot group. I burned through about 30 rounds of ball ammo that grouped about 3" @100 yards prior to shooting the better stuff. When I start reloading for 308 at least I have somewhere to start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moog5050 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I think most savages are more accurate than the shooter - at least if I am the shooter they are. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneam2006 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 My dad's savage 270 is one of most accurate firearms I've ever shot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACHINIST Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Wow nice groups.I have been wanting to get the same exact gun chamber in 223 and 308 and wonder if the 10tr is chambered in both but cant find it on the savage site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntOrBeHunted Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I love Savage rifles. I want one in 338. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY_Whitetailer Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Machinist...Good luck finding one. It was never listed on Savage's web site. I was lucky enough to find it through a guy on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borngeechee Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ive been looking at one in 30-06. I hear great things about Savages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88GW Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Nice shooting. I too have an older Savage 110 in .243 and it is an absolute tack driver!!! Although it is barely enough to take down the dreaded NY whitetail. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
