I went shopping today with my grandson , to look at a Sharps , 45-70, and a fully moded SKS. Never made it to that LGS. I stopped in a LGS on the way and this darn .308 Savage with a custom made and fitted muzzle brake , on a silencer ready barrel , just jumped off the wall right into my hands, and ,the sucker even walked out with me. Cant wait to get a Scope mounted and try it out. I think I did OK, I gave him a Taurus 85 snubby and $122. Im happy. Hey Dutchs, it aint a .338 Lapua , but some day maybe it will grow up. But I really like them Savage bolt guns. Jim
Great buy Jim...I have the Hog Hunter in .308 with the threaded barrel but no Muzzle break..it's a 20" barrel though. It was my first rifle about a year and a half ago. The guys on the forum helped me pick it and I just love it. Everyone who shoots it says the same. You gonna love that rifle man!!!:metal2: Helluva lot cheaper to feed to
Thanks guys, I cant wait to get a scope on it and shoot. Ive got a few 3x9x40 lower class scopes laying around, but I want a better one for longer shooting. My buddy has this scope and really likes it, what do you guys think about this one? Man , its got great reviews. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/74...mm-adjustable-objective-truplex-reticle-matte Jim
I had a Simmons on my Savage Edge .223 and it did a great job...I was very happy with it and would buy Simmons again.
Took the Savage to the range today. Just mounted the Simmons scope a couple days ago, did not boresight it. Off bench,50 yards, using Fed 150gr SP. Next outing will move to 250yds. First shot was 1" high and 1" right.( ha, unbelievable) 8 clicks down, and 8 clicks left on scope. second shot perfect dead center bullseye. 2 more shots ,removed the bullseye. 2 more shots ,thru 2 bowling pins , perfect clean holes all way thru. A true tack driver, so far,will try longer shots later. Much lighter recoil, than my other .308, Nice short, crisp, trigger. Love it. I really am impressed with the Simmons Whitetail scope. Extremely clear/sharp, and responds to turrets beautifully,and is on sale at Midway. Lookout Mr Deer, this fall. Jim
Thats funny. So am I. I havent bought any new ones since I got that Savage .223 Trophy Hunter, back in Jan. Which will get its turn at the range this week. I just couldnt pass these up, right price, been on my want list for along time. Just got good deals. Now Im tapped out for awhile. Jim
Hi Ho, Fido, Nice rifle ya got there. Think I seen it before. Oh yeah, on KTOG. Get the scope for it yet?
Hey Pancho, How are ya? How the peepers working these days? Yeah, I got it last week, zeored it over the weekend. First time I ever got ZERO in 2 shots. First shot, 1" high and right, 2nd shot dead center. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/74...mm-adjustable-objective-truplex-reticle-matte Midway puts it on sale in the summer, Old Uniongap got one , he liked it ,so I got one. I am really impressed with it. Super sharp and clear, and love the AO. Seems to respond perfectly to turret adjustments. For the money , hard to beat. Jim
