[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 240611, member: 12863"] As previously stated, the Savage out of the box is usually capable of doing what you ask. Yes proper stock and proper bedding will enhance ones ability to shoot it at the longer ranges. Palma shooters have been limited to the 308 caliber and shoot to 1000 yards with scope or open sights. Think I would check a ballistics chart and compare energy remaining with game intended to hunt. The 308 is a reliable load for many hunting applications. I do find it on the light side for many as well. Neal [/QUOTE]
