[QUOTE="West Calamus, post: 2084958, member: 110228"] Just got back from Deer camp where a fellow their had a brand new Savage 110 Ultra light in a 6.5 creed with carbon wrapped barrel and a Vortex 5 x 25 on a 20 MOA rail. His wife had gotten him for Christmas. ( she got a diamond bracelet). The rifle had never been shot and only boresighted. Somebody gave him 2 boxes of 120 gr. Hornday match ammo. First day he shoots 3 shots total a 100 yards to sight in at zero. In the back of my mind I snicker because he didn't shoot any 5 shot groups. Next day I ask if I can look at his rifle and we get to talking about setting up his ballistic app. using the velocity off the ammo box and subtracting 50 fps for his 22 in barrel. The guy had never shot further then 100 yards in his life so I say you want to try a 300 yard shot. I loan him a rear back and get him set-up and he uses hash marks on first shot and rings 8 in steel plate. Next shot we dial up and ring plate and I ring it on the 6 th shot out of the gun. Shots 7,8,9 ever out of the gun we ring the plate every time at 500 yards. We were shooting with a 15 mph quartering wind. At that point we decided he probably ought to save his ammo so we quit for the day. Needless to say I was impressed with the new out of the box, mass produced factory rifle shooting factory ammo compared to my custom barrel rifles and all the load development I went though to get my rifles to be shooters. That particular rifle action is blueprinted at the Savage factory. Just sharing. [/QUOTE]
