[QUOTE="Savage 22-243 AI, post: 1676467, member: 106450"] Savage model 12 in 22-243 AI, custom built by Sharp Shooters Savage. Blue printed/timed action, Douglas xx barrel 1-8 twist, custom stock, 3 recoil reducers, Ken Farrell base, Leatherwood 7-30x50 scope, custom barrel nut and recoil lug, 8 ounce trigger. 75 gr A-Max 3700 fps, 40 gr. solid copper 4600 fps, 30 gr. solid copper 5215 fps. I shoot mostly 75 and 80 gr match bullets. Its magic range is 550 to 800 yds. Even at 1400 yds with 75 gr. match bullets its impressive. Moly coated bullets make barrel life 2400 to 4200 rds. One shot per minute and it would live forever. I don't have time for that. After 50 rds I put ice water on towel over barrel. Wait a few minute until I stop hurting and start again. After 200 to 300 rounds I pour ice water down the barrel from bolt end and chase with four dry patches and start again. I have used this gun since 1999. I love my 22-250 AI, my .223, my 6mmbr, but this one is my pet for all shooting needs. I can hit what I shoot at. Best shot 1151 yds on PD. [ATTACH=full]141998[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
