Today, we went over to our local gun club for their annual picnic. We were fortunate to have a couple fellers from Savage Arms there with a small arsenal with ammunition for us to try. They had a 6.5 creedemore, .308 Winchester, .17 hornet, the new .17 Winchester super magnum rim fire, and a .22 long rifle. It was a great opportunity. To top the experience off, I decided to try the .308- it's a pretty intimidating looking gun compared to what I'm used to. But I'm glad I shot it - the SA rep was very excited- and so was i! Turns out I'm gonna be a celebrity - this pic of one like it will be on their site...

3 shots @ 100 meters - could cover em with a dime. Now if only I could talked him into giving me that gun....

Savage 10 BA in 308 I see. That's good shooting Sarah.:thumbup: They didn't have one in 338 Lapua for you to try?

 

[sarahdodgegeek]

Oops forgot to tell you the gun! Its a Savage Arms model 10BA chambered in .308 Winchester.

Nope, I would like to try out that cartridge. The 6.5 creedmoor looks like it would be an excellent caliber for my next deer rifle.

Dangit Sarah, now everyone's gonna be after Savage guns. Their accuracy is unbeatable as far as mass produced out of the box guns go. My deer rifle is a 116 LH .270 in stainless. Groups under an inch @ 100 with pretty much any ammo, I get 1/2" with the Hornady Ballistic Tips I use. Mine's pre AccuTrigger, but it's nice and crisp and about 4#, i never saw a need to make it any better in a hunting gun.

I too, am a savage user and fan...
270 Win is my cartridge of choice.
It's pretty hard to beat sub MOA accuracy out of the box...

(Sounds like there is going to be a Wild Thing shoot at the next GTG? Running or non-running?)

We tried one running... It wasn't nearly as exciting as the one packed with tannerite...

Hot dry and windy.... wonder when they start sending trucks out for fires. Last year we got lucky and only managed to have less than 3000 acres get charred.
