I have a savage long range hunter for sale and am located in boise. Caliber is 7mag.

WBM, I have the same gun and have not gotten it to shoot the 168 grain bergers very well, How hard was it for you to get a good load worked up for it? Also after adjusting the trigger I cant seem to get it to shoot anything as good as it was shooting before I took the action out of the stock...

The long range hunter may say blued on the savage web page but it is really a bead blasted matte. I think you pretty much nailed it the finish, brake, and karsten are really all that set it apart from the other models.

Sloan, your 1-9.5 twist shoots the 180 bergers good? Looks like we have 2 votes for 160 grain accubonds so I will probably try those also. I already know that it shoots the 154 SST's into about 1/2 inch, Id like to shoot something a little heavier - just so I can shoot one load and have...

What bullet have you guys had good luck with for a 7mm rem mag, 24 inch barrel and 1-9.5 twist, im going to keep trying to get the berger 168s to shoot (first time was unsuccessful) but if you guys have any other ideas let me know. Will be used mostly on deer sized game and smaller but on the...

The muzzle brake works well but is probably not as effective as some, there is very noticeable difference between on and off thats for sure, hard to be subjective. I never "let it cool" other than taking turns firing different guns, walking out to put up new targets and things like that. I...

I have one in 7mm mag. I have been very busy. I have had it out twice. One time only breaking it in with factory ammo. The second time was with never fired remington brass, 162 grain hornady sst. Every group after the first one was under .75 inch. smallest was almost a clover leaf but there was...

I have a long range hunter in 7 mag, it shoots great. I got mine from prairie arms. You might want to e mail them and see when they will get more in. Sav 111 Lng Rng Hntr 7Mm 26" - Prairie Arms Web Store

Thanks for the opinions guys, any more about helping me decide on a scope is much appreciated. Lets stop with the ****ing contest and agree that everyone has had different experiences and everyone has different preferences. I understand that anything I read on here I should evaluate for myself...

Could you post the link to the Zeiss mountainman. I believe I have looked at the zeiss on the web and it only has 45 moa of adjustment. Thanks.

"enter me in the berger bullets give away contest"

Well thanks for the info guys, I think I will wait until I can actually hold one at my local Sportsmans to buy and keep doing research in the mean time. I will have a hard time dropping 900$ for something I have never seen. I'm going to keep looking but if I can hold it and look through it and...

It has many cool features, my problem is if it such a great scope and so superior to Leupold then why does it cost so little? and why does no one I know have one? It definitely has hands down a lot more features. It just seems to good to be true almost and the fact that I don't know anyone...

Looked at that vortex online. pros: zero stop, max power 24 instead of 20, reticle, a little cheaper. Cons: Never owned Vortex, only 65 Moa of elevation adjustment instead of 90. 24 instead of 20 does not seem like an issue to me. Probably never use all 65 MOA of elevation, also a not a huge...
