[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2670651, member: 48043"] Well, we got the rifle on paper this afternoon. I ran a 1.1" group first group out of the pipe after sighting in using 165 Hdy fb/ 78rl22/215 ww brass that I load for my Browning 300win. I'd loaded up some Retumbo/ 180 grain test loads but she wasn't really happy so I ditched that plan. We next tried some 200 eld-x/ 73v565/ 215 in pmc brass I'd loaded for my Browning also. The Savage dumped a .980" and a .997" group with my son and I both shooting it. (100yds) Keep in mind my Browning is a standard action rifle with a rather short throat. I haven't even checked the throating on the Savage let alone walked a bullet out to the rifling a bit. All ammo was standard oal.. 3.34 to 3.36" All in all it's (the Savage) a nice/ stable pipe moa out of the box with at least some potential to better that. I wouldn't try for really steamy stuff as the extraction seems about akin to a #1 or pump; possibly an auto. Not really turn bolt beat it open with a hammer territory. It's going hunting next year to be sure; my son has already fallen in love with the rifle. [/QUOTE]
