A 1000 yard 264 win on a old savage action.

I have never gotten bad accuracy with a savage action.. Savage barrels are another story. I have had two savages with inaccurate barrels, one I screwed on Shilen, the other I screwed on an ER Shaw barrel their inaccuracy went away. the best was a 270 Win that went from 3" @ 100 yards to 0.250" @ 100 Yards. for the savage target actions and custom builds, I have gotten some stellar numbers with the target actions. one 308 Win @ 100 yards cut an approx. 0.326" by 0.334" hole. I call that good. Others I get better results.

I have a 28" Lothar Walthor in 6.5X284, 26" Shilen in 6mmBR and a 28" PacNor in .300WinMag. All varmint profile a d all DIY's.
The 6.5X284 LW shoots great, best group was 12.5-13" @ 1500yds. I've had it a year or two and well pleased with it's accuracy and ease of cleaning. Has not copper fouled yet.
The 6mmBR (1-8t), I put it on around the 20th of March this year and shot my first competition (informal) ever and came in 3rd out of 75 shooters. I'm sure others have done better but it is what it is. This barrel has not shot anything over .4". The majority of the time the groups are in the .1's and .2's, with either 108gn ELD-M's or 95gn Berger VLD's. This was a clearance pre-fit from NSS. $300 to my door!
I'm still working with the PacNor .300 WinMag. I've only shot it 10 times. The first four to get on paper and zeroed. The last six (today) were two 3-shot groups with Norma brass RL-26 and 215 Hybrids. Both groups were .5". Trying to find max load with this combo but I'm missing my muzzle brake!
After shooting a .300WinMag with full horse power loads and a muzzle brake, laying that down, playing with a 6mmBR for a couple of months and then driving back in to an "un-braked" .300 is a jolt! I really had forgotten what a beast the WinMag could be!
I guess you can count me 3 for 3 with Savage pre-fits.

Look up Ron Bartlett and have a Vais muzzle brake installed, my last one was $315 and it will change your rifle, never look back. Accuracy never suffered. I had one installed on a 375 rum Remington CDL. Nice to shoot now.

I have built two rifles using the Savage actions(110 and 111), with Criterion barrels in 6.5x47 and 6.5x284. They are both exceptionally accurate and consistent rifles.

Thanks for everyone's input

I did what you are thinking about. First group was 3/8" and second was 1/8" at 100 yards.

what kind of accuracy is anyone getting using an old 110 savage action and ready to screw on barrels. I'm interested in doning one in a .280 ackley im.

I'm using a savage 10 action that I rebarreled to a 6x45 using a green mountain barrel, first initial groupings were .50 moa at 100yards
