Tweaking a Savage LRPV 22-250 Remington with a 1:9-Twist Barrel

[ADMIN]

A few years ago a Savage Model 12 LRPV chambered in 22-250 Remington was purchased primarily to compete in the Factory Class at the World Groundhog Championship in Pennsylvania. This Savage model has a left port/right bolt target action, 26-inch heavy stainless barrel, synthetic stock with aluminum bedding, a target trigger that breaks at six ounces and the rifle weighs a hefty eleven pounds. The 1:9-inch twist barrel can handle the 69-grain Sierra and 68-grain Hornady match bullets, reaping the benefit of their better ballistic coefficients for long distance shooting. For matches that include constant switching between 100, 300 and 500-yard targets a reliable scope was a necessity so a Nightforce NXS 8-32X BR was attached to the rifle with a 20-MOA Nightforce base and Nightforce rings.
