[QUOTE="one crazy kid, post: 1919254, member: 62215"] Well, I still haven't been able to access the range I frequent that has a bench, I finally broke down and went to a piece of BLM land that is decently secluded and has reasonable road access. After initial sight in and cooling I fired this 5 shot group @100 yds. I was prone in dirt shooting off a bi-pod and used my jacket for a rear bag. Pretty close to 1" on the dot, I feel good about the rifles potential given factory ammo, field shooting conditions and the the monkey pulling the trigger. I was shooting Federal Premium w/ 168gr Berger hybrid hunter at an advertised velocity of 2830fps. I am hopeful that hand loads and a more stable shooting environment will shrink group sizes by at least half. Final specs for the rifle. Savage 110 in 280 AI Boyds Laminate pro varmint w/ adjustable check piece Criterion light varmint 26" w/ blended break - 8.5 twist Rifle Basic SAV-2 trigger adjusted to 2lbs EGW 1 piece 20 MOA pic rail Burris extreme tactical signature rings Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16X44, 30mm tube Final weight is 13lbs 4oz according to my bathroom scale.
