[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 384707, member: 22262"] Well let me start out by telling you if you don't already know how I got this gun. I bought a 17 hmr about 3 years ago and just a couple months ago had a guy that wanted to trade me his 300 wsm. Well I was a little reluctant too at first but finally warmed up to the idea of it so I traded. It is a Savage model 11. I purchased a Choate super sniper stock to go on it. I only have a cheap Tasco Pronghorn 4-16x40 scope on it. The trigger is terrible, it has creap and is heavy but i decided I was going to shoot it before sinking any more monay into it. Here in the last month and a half I have been trying to find a good load for it with the 155g Bergers but the smallest group I could get was .785. So last Saturday I went and bought some 168 SMKs and loaded some of them up. Well right off the bat I was happy. First load grouped .7?? At 100 yds. Second load was .360 Needless to say I was happy with that. I did try a couple other loads but nothing that did as good. So this weekend I go to my parents farm where I can streach the legs on it a little and shot. Well being a pretty much stock gun except the stock I was very impressed with how well it did. Here is a picture [IMG]http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/sniperjwt/ebe4f8a6.jpg[/IMG] here is another one that you can tell a little more about how big it is [IMG]http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/sniperjwt/5c76d655.jpg[/IMG] it measured 2.812 [/QUOTE]
