[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1855329, member: 112413"] Sorry missed your post, its a savage model 12 earlier style stagger feed varmint action (donor was a 12BVSS varmint rifle), with a 1/7.5 twist lothar walther barrel, 20" long, sporter profile. Stockade carbon composite stock pillared/bedded with an internal bedding block. Rifle basix ll trigger and machined SSS recoil lug. It also has a 4-16 load work-up scope on it instead of the 3.5-10 hunting scope it usually wears. It shot mid fours to mid fives when I built it in 2007 with the first accurate load I put together for it. Served me well as a lightweight deer rifle for the thick stuff up here, work took my time back then and now here I am 13 years later final tuning the original load. The OCW porition turned up a lighter load than the original and that tightened it up some, now I'm waiting for a mild temp low wind day to do a full ladder test of distance off lands loads. Don't expect a lot tighter groups at this point but will take any further improvement that occur's. If it shoots in the two's it will be the tightest shooting short barreled hunting rifle I've ever owned or assembled. I'll know in the next week probably. [/QUOTE]
