Took the new rifle out for my first range trip and man it's a shooter! I had some really good groups and some that were just okay. Can tell that when they aren't so good it's me causing it. The range I went to was only 50 yards so not even really getting to see what it can do yet, but here are the pictures from the day.
I bought the gun from a local guy who needed the cash, I think I got a great deal on this one!
The gun:
Savage 10SA .308 w/ boots bolt handle/knob
22" Lilja stainless match barrel 1:10 (126 rounds)
Choate stock w/ bipod and Karsten cheek rest
FTE muzzle brake
Millett 4-16x50 TRS-1
duracoated in digital camo.
The load:
178gr A-MAX, 41.2 gr of 4064, 2.811 OAL
From the bench off bipod and my hand as my rear bag (need to get one)
