[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1496955, member: 85987"] One of the biggest key's to the savage accustock is torque tuning the rifle. My 6.5 model 10 would shoot inside 1/2moa easily after torque tuning the action to the stock. .75" 5 shot groups at 300yds. Not .75 MOA but .75" Sub 2" groups at 500yds all from a bone stock rifle with a beast 2pc brake which also can be tuned by moving it in out and from the 12 o'clock position to 10 to remove some of the twisting effect. I used the burris signature tactical rings and put 25 moa into the rings. I'd also consider peterson brass. ADG and then lapua. I used Rl 26 to get my best groups and single digit ES. I did a 130 shot string over the crono and even with leaving the rounds in the chamber for up to 2 minutes for data I saw a 57fps swing in outdoor temps in the 32-36 degree. 4955 showed promise but it wasn't as good in the short amount of testing I did. Rl 16 had more speed than h4350 but it shot best at the same speed h4350 with large rifle brass did. RL 26 would really shine in longer than 24" barrels whereas the 4350's and Rl 15/16 as well as cfe223 is amazing in the shorter barrels. The 120 class shot very well in the cold with 100V. I shot 120 and 123 serria's into one hole groups using that powder. It was a nice load that had the same 0 as the 125gn winchester deer xp load. The new owner of that rifle will be using that this fall for whitetails in New england so I hope to get a report as to how that works for the people who need a good factory load for their creeds. It holds sub moa out to 480(as far as I have shot that before selling the rifle) [/QUOTE]
