[QUOTE="teddy12b, post: 192817, member: 9873"] I first started shooting Savage guns when I bought a 210F 12gauge bolt gun. I could shoot better groups with that savage shotgun than I could with a Remington BDL 700 in 300RUM. Both guns were bought completely factory new. Later I bought a 12FV in 223 and developed a load for a 69gr matchking and varget powder. If the bullet holes weren't touching at 100 yards it was my mistake. I did have an issue with getting empty brass to eject out of that gun and when I called Savage they sent me the new ejector and I fixed it in 5 minutes. I had to sell that 12FV because of a money issue, but I replaced it with a 12BVSS in 223. I never really fired my 12FV past 200 yards, but the 12BVSS hits where I aim on steel out to 600 yards. It'll probably do farther, but I ran out of ammo. Both of those guns are 100% factory stock too. My latest love is a 110FP I special ordered in 30-06. It is completely factory except I switch the stock with a B&C duramax. I've only broke in this rifle and I did that with junky reloads. I shot out to 300 yards with 220gr prohunters and the bullets hit exactly where I would aim! Those aren't exactly long range bullets and this was with less than 100 rounds through the barrel. In any event, I am a savage guy for life. I intend to shoot farther than I already have with both of my savage rifles. At this point the bullets have hit exactly where I have aimed no matter how far away the target was. [/QUOTE]
