[QUOTE="Ghostmoney, post: 597145, member: 22910"] After shooting to 1000 yards with my 300 weatherby I wanted to get a gun that could reach out to 1000 while shooting under MOA. I wanted a gun accurate enough that it was not the limiting factor. So I researched and ended up purchasing a savage model 12 fclass to hopefully obtain this goal. Thought I would start a thread to track my progress to reaching my goal so others may see the kind of accuracy the stock savage model 12 can obtain in a beginners hands. Hopefully I will learn a lot about long range shooting and what it takes to reload for it. Here is the rifle with falcon menace scope and Karsten's Cheek Rest [IMG]http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x240/toubabokoomi87/402917_10150486135859891_742634890_8865865_1093383117_n.jpg[/IMG] Took the rifle out to day to do barrel break in while testing a few different charges of powder to get an idea of what powder charge this rifle liked. Looks like around 50 gr. of 5831 with a 1/2" group.
