[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1525533, member: 104268"] You are correct on the rifle not being that accurate. It's a $350 Marlin X7 that was essentially given to me. The test above is with the bullet/powder it likes the best [I]EDIT: Wasn't paying attention, the OP test was with the ELDX, which it hates END EDIT: [/I]out of half dozen I tried in it (at the time, my dad was paying for the components, so I went hog wild with it and probably sent 20 different recipes down range). It shoots the 145 ELDX into a bench rest winning 3 MOA... It's about 1.5 MOA with stuff it "likes", and my favorite recipe will keep them between 0.8 and 1.25 MOA 80% of the time, which is good enough for it's purpose as a "free to me" backup elk/deer gun for ≤400 yds. I only revisited it recently, because I let my buddy, a new hunter, use my Savage for this hunting season to give him the best chance of success. I tried to use my best techniques to wring a little more out of it, but didn't get much. Hence this thread... [/QUOTE]
