Yippee! Savage arrived today! UPDATE- Range Report
It's going to need a lot of cleaning, and I think that is a BB gun scope. The wood looks rather unique.
I hope to get to the range tommorow. Haven't any loaded 308's yet.
This is a model 99C. Does anyone know what weight bullets these prefer?
Oh, and do I get to be a member of the Savage Club now?
Well guys, I thinks it's a keeper.
I fired three , three shot groups. One from each of my carry pistols, and one from the Savage, all at 100 yrds.
Group #1 Is the Savage. I don't have any appropriate hunting bullets, so I shortened my target load to function through the magazine. This load consist of Hornady 168gr BTHP Match bullets and 42.0gr Varget. I think that is fair for open sights?
Group #2 is from the 1911, and #3 from the Ruger ( the third shot never made it to paper.
Anyway, I appriciate your knowledge and advice concerning these fine old rifles. Thanks guys!
P.S. That purple scope that was on the rifle, it is a Bushenell Sportview. thing, only has about an inch and a half of eye relief and will not focus. Must be one of those Wal Mart specials?
