eagle rider Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Shot this yesterday for zero. The rifle shoots really well in the new stock and the bedding is a big improvement. It's definately stiffer recoils in the lugged, bedded stock. Surprisingly it never liked my pet 150 gr load before. It's shooting under an inch with these now. I think I'm liking this gun again. Lol.

dbHunterNY Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Nice looking rifle. Guns always are subject to the quick accuracy fix of a lighter trigger. With cold weather gloves and everything else it's good for most to have a 2.5 to 3 lb trigger. Needing anything lighter is just a bandaid fix for a bad squeeze. I've got light triggers and heavier ones. As long as it's crisp and breaks well it will work. Most rifles are around 3-4 lbs I think these days. Just shot my abolt 30-06 with Sunday to check it for this weekend. It has factory trigger adjusted down to 3lb. I managed to make one ragged hole well under an inch. When I shoot my 22lr Ruger target pistol for bullseye league it's the same thing. Stock 4.5 lb trigger opposed to aftermarket at half that weight. Just the other night I shot a ragged hole group on slow fire target. Light triggers help hide a crappy flinch filled pull of the trigger. What I'm saying is average trigger weight is plenty good enough for any hunting situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle rider Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 The verdict is WOW. Rifle is a dream. Hunts well and shoots better. My rifle season was completed with a 177 yd shoot through a meat doe's neck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philoshop Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Congrats on the doe eagle rider! I'm thinking about a Boyd's thumbhole to replace the plastic on my Savage .243. Maybe in the spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle rider Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 They make nice stuff. Just spent Fantasy Football earnings on a clearance A-Bolt Stalker in 270 Win. After rebates and Black Friday deals its net $375 to me. I'm gonna do a Boyds Pepper Laminate on that.i got a Burris Droptine 3-9 for it. It will my Christmas present to me. I have all winter to bed it, do the trigger and set it up. I will likely use it to hunt next season. Bottom line to basically make a homegrown custom project like these work out to be for under $700 is a home run. You'll love their stock on your Savage.

philoshop Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I have a Boyd's Anschutz style on my 10/22. Looks a little funky with a 16.5" barrel, but a little time in the shop will get that fixed some day. They're tough to beat for the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
