A day at the range with the new rifles.
Took my new Savage BV .22 LR to the range, as well as my Savage .308 "Hog Hunter". Both shot really nice. The .308 has a Nikon 4.5-14x40 Buckmaster on it and factory open sights as well as a threaded 20 inch med contour barrel. Not a bad setup for $499 from Cabelas in Billings Montana. They also make one in .223. I figure that would make a nice coyote rig. The Savage Mark II in .22lr is fun to shoot, have a Bushnell 3-9x40 Elite scope on that and it's stock is very comfortable. The 102 degree temps didnt stop me from having a good shoot. Here are a couple low res pics.

The 308 shot just a hair over an inch at 100 yrds with Sellier&Bellot 147g FMJ (I am not a great shot regardless). I am saving all the brass for future reloads for that rifle! |

Savages are some of the most accurate rifles out of the box. My Savage .243 is one of my favorites

Savage rims, love 'em. Really hard to beat for the money, same goes for their center bolts.
