Thanks for the tips. Not cleaning my bbl often is something that I'll keep in mind about the Savage. It goes against everything I've been taught and practiced but I will keep that tip in mind.

Thanks all. The more that I'm finding out about Savage, the better I like them. AJ: I now subscribe to savageshooters.com. The few things I've already read on there are already worth the subscription price. Thanks.

Thanks all. You talked me into buying one. :D

Thanks. This info will get me started. Any other ideas?

It seems like most people agree that a Savage is a good way to get into long range shooting on a budget price. So I am planning on a Savage 11G in .308. That is the wood stock model and it has the accutrigger. So, what are some tips on tweaking a little more accuracy out of these rifles? Are...

I' m in Pennsylvania and the biggest game we have here are Whitetail deer and Black bear. So a .308 will be fine for them out to 500 yds I'm thinking. Shooting some target would be a max of 500 yds around here. I figure I could use the 165gr btsp for hunting and the match 168gr bthp for target...

Both targets and animals. Why the .308? I like being handi-capped. :D Seriously, I like the caliber and want to use some ammo that I have access to. Nothing like free ammo when you are on a limited budget.

I am on a very limited budget and the max I am able to shoot around here would be 500 yds. Would a regular Savage 11 with a wood stock in .308 be ok? A glass bed job with a bipod would probably help. I'm looking for something that would deliver moa or a little better at those ranges. $500 - 600...
