[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1172426, member: 63138"] Though it would be fun to show the mixed up fun you can have with a Savage. In the attached picture you will see what happens when two Savage Model 12s collide. One was a LPV in 300 WSM and the other a LRP in 260 Rem. Not surprisingly the bigger caliber came out on top so this rifle is a 300 WSM but on a Savage target action with DBM. Along the way a 20 MOA rail and a 4 port muscle brake got installed along with a Boyd's prairie hunter stock with the adjustable cheek piece (very slick how that works). I still have the HS Precision stock from the LRP available should that be more appropriate to the intended use that day. A hunting buddy has an unmodified 300 WSM LPV and it is shooting 0.5 MOA with the 200 grain ELD-Xs. That is the control rifle. I'm going to see if I can beat that with this rifle. He is running H4831SC in his but I'm going to run RL-26 as that is top of the list for velocity per QuickLoad (103% compressed load). He is averaging 2,815 fps whereas I should be able to get to 3,000 fps with the RL-26. [/QUOTE]
