Mel it's the first Savage I have owned and it blew my mind on the first 13 rounds fired during scope sight in :shock: I have a couple PSS that couldnt touch the accuracy of this Savage, I have a rock barrel on one of the PSS now and it and the Savage are tied in tight groups.
I like Remington better, but I think I will get use to the Savage due to its performance...
I handload for it and it was not hard to find a load it loved, I started out with 43Gr of Varget and the hotter the load the tighter she got by vast improvements.. My finished load is
45.5 Gr Varget
210 m primer
Fed GM brass
Nosler J-4 168
-------------------
45 Gr Varget
210m primer
Fed GM brass
175 SMK
It shoots either load the same groups,I am just using the 175 SMK at 1000yd matches at Camp Robinson better BC.
