[QUOTE="dstewart51, post: 577772, member: 38868"] Just got back from Angeles Shooting Range and... IM IN LOVE! My new Savage 110FCP HS Precision in 338 Lapua w/ Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56, [IMG]http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff146/wsmc551/Firearms/_PAS0190.jpg[/IMG] I only had 30 Factory 300gr Scenar rounds to take with me so I had to make them count. Took 2 rounds to get a hit on the paper at 100yards, 3rd round was close enough to dead center. Put the target out to 200 yards, took 2 more shots to get it zeroed at 200. I set the ZeroStop and zeroed the turrets on scope. Shot 2 more rounds to confirm the 200y zero did not move. I moved to a smaller target on my stand and ran a single 3 shot group with shots 8, 9, and 10 to finish off my first box. 0.827" 3 shot group @ 200 yards before I even put 10 rounds though the "out of the box" Savage, that comes out to just under 1/2 MOA, [IMG]http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff146/wsmc551/Firearms/IMG_2131.jpg[/IMG] The recoil was vary manageable, not much more then a 308! Short video below, [media=youtube]bdBgDZfjj6g[/media] For the next 10 rounds I was having a blast making 1st rounds hits at the steels ranging form 300 yards out to 600. Used "Shooter" to get the proper dope and it worked great, every shot was a hit! Im in love with this thing! I wasn't all super anal about 1 shot then clean break in.
