Savage in .243 Finally to the range
Posted: 20 May 2017 02:55
Finally got my .243 Winchester caliber Savage out to the range and it is a KEEPER!
Ran a group out of it.
Buddy of mine ran a group out of it.
Did some scope adjustments.
Ran another group and got 1" 1" off the bullseye/point of aim at 100.
Sweet shooter. Was running it after my .30-06 and my .270 and could probably have shot it all day.
The gun is blued with plastic stock, accu trigger. It wears a Precision Reflex full rail with Warne rings and a Redding 6-18 scope. This is the gun I won and wasn't sure I wanted to keep. So far I've got a spare mag, the mount, rings and scope plus the ammo into it. Say something like $350 plus the rounds.
Both of the other guns kicked a bit more with the .270 getting uncomfortable after 3 groups. In spite of the laminated stock it's a lightweight. I could have shot the 06 a lot more. My bud managed to get scope bit on his first shot. He didn't realize it until he was pretty much dripping blood. Since he got kissed on his nose it didn't take long for it to be a mess. Managed to find a bandaid and keep him going for a while.
GOT to get out to the range more often!
