[QUOTE="Brad615, post: 643226, member: 46747"] Hi, I'm new to this forum as well as long range shooting so forgive me if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about, but here it goes. I recently purchased a savage long range hunter in a 7mm rem mag and have been dealing with issues ever since! I purchased this feb 2012 & have had several issues with the rifle that just shouldn't happen. First it took me three different QUALITY scopes and several different sets of bases & rings to find out that whomever was working "drill the receiver day" couldn't line up the holes correctly.
