      @Anschutz270
      Agreed. At a local Big 5 I was able to look over a Savage 110 Precision. I couldn't keep the rifle shouldered while cycling the bolt because the lift was so heavy. I know a precision gun isn't usually shoulder fired, but even on a tripod or a bag just cycling the bolt would alter the point of aim. Opted for somthing else.

      Savage is known for their accuracy. Most attribute it to the floating bolt head, button broached rifling and the lock nut barrel. It is no surprise that Ruger used the lock nut barrel on their American rifles. General consensus is that the Ruger Americans are highly accurate (I concur) plus they eject MUCH, MUCH better than any current Savage model. Between this particular Savage rifle and the Ruger American, I think I'd take the American especially if it is a gen 2 that uses AICS magazines.

    For a number of years, I ran monthly 100 & 200 BR matches at a very large gun club north of Metro Atlanta. And for about 20 years, I shot in the matches every month. For our club level matches we had 3 classes: stock, modified (custom barrels, stocks, triggers but stock actions) and full on Bench Rest. It was rare for anything other than a Savage to win either of the first 2 classes.
    They weren't even close to being competitive to an in-tune-full-on bench rest rifle though. Nothing is.
    I have full BR rifles but I've also got several Savages. I took one, a model 12 BVSS with a custom trigger, put on a barrel chambered for 6mm BR and went up to the 600 yard prone matches and gave those guys fits. It was shooting relay after relay of 200-20X, perfect scores. It means that every round, 20 times in a row, it was hitting inside a 6'' circle, centered in the target at 600 yards.
    Savage has been doing this for a while.
    If you live in North Georgia, Alabama or even South Carolina and want to join a LARGE club, Riverbend Gun Club is one of the best in the nation per some consultants we hired to design more ranges. The club is 1000 acres and has so many different ranges that I've lost count, for every type of shooting and the club is competition centered. Every weekend there will be several large competitions of different types. We host national level events. We have a couple of thousand members.

      Ive played around with both the BR and Norma and love both versions. Im currently trying to see what all I can get the 6 ARC to do in a bolt gun on both the bench and in the field before I invest too deeply in it. As far as your 110 comments in your past club shoots, were you referring to after....say 2005 to 2010ish.... or prior? Dont get me wrong I love the 110s and in todays world I'd definitely sit at the 300, 600 or even at a grand with one in my hand all day long. But back in the day there were a lot of 700s (including mine) that beat the brakes off a lot of the 110s in both FTR and Open. As far as an out of the box gun you could go buy and go straight to the match there is no question I'd chose a 110, but as far as tweaking the trigger, action and stock the old 700s were hard to beat. I know later years the 110s started winning the majority of the events, but before that the 700s were king and a man that really knows how to run a good older version 700 could still give a 110 hell even today 👍

    Years ago when ar 15s were all the craze i would go to the local pawn shop and buy buy buy any savage bolt 110 from 3006 to 223, sometimes for 150 bucks with scopes worth more than the gun at the time . Loved them all back into shooting condition, 7mm mags and 300 winnys barrels green from neglect but cleaned up and shot great, some I rebarreled to other calibers w shaw or ea brown did trigger work or stock swaps, but all were amazingly accurate. Still think they are great , kept the original barrels for future swap projects, . Great love affair with the savage bolt actions.

    While deer hunting in northern Missouri back in the 90’s, my Remington suffered a broken firing pin. Stupidly, I had not brought along a backup rifle, so was forced to run into the nearest town to look for one. Understand, it was a Sunday, during a deer season that was only about two weeks long….I was pressed for time. My only option was the nearest towns Walmart, whose selection was distressing. There were exactly 2 rifles in the display. Both were Savage 110 bolt guns. One was in 30-06, the other was a .270. The later had a factory supplied scope already mounted. I had never even shot a .270 before, but the already mounted scope made the choice for me. After buying the rifle, and a couple of boxes of ammunition, I returned to the deer woods. After test firing a few shots at increasing distances, I found that this rifle (as it came out of the box) was shooting 1 inch groups at 100 yards…….that must have been a really good day at the Savage factory. 🫡
    A couple of hours later I saw a nice sized doe across the field. A single shot dropped her where she stood. That distance stepped off right near 400 yards. I’ve been a fan of Savage rifles ever since and have since bought my daughter a 110 chambered in .243. I wholeheartedly recommended the 110 to anyone that asks. 🫡

      This has nothing to do with barrel break in. You properly break in a barrel to avoid future issues caused by jacket material collecting in microscopic machining grooves. Virtually every barrel manufacturer and professional precision rifle maker advises a good break in, but sure, this video proves them all wrong.

    • @zeljkoblazevic2152

      Honestly, do whatever makes you feel better about your rifle.
      I think it's crap, I don't clean my rifles and they all continue to shoot great. The military snipers that I have run across (even the sniper school instructors) only clean every 200-300 rounds. Even on a new barrel they will just shoot, and shoot and shoot and shoot.

    • @rogerf7265
      @rogerf7265 Před 3 měsíci +3

      I saw an interview with an engineer that said that the only reason that they put a break-in procedure in the owners manual is because they were getting flooded with requests for one from customers and when they said that they didn't need one they didn't believe them. He said that there is no scientific proof that you need to break in a barrel. I've never done a break-in. I go straight out to the range and sight it in and then maybe verify it a couple days before I go hunting.

    • @RockinRack
      @RockinRack Před 3 měsíci +1

    Canjar set down to 2 oz. Trigger,
    Synthetic stock filled with lead, it weighs 18 lbs.
    Obviously this is a Bench gun set up for target shooting.
    Load development used was the Claud Audett ladder method.
    Necks is turned to .oo10
    Bald Eagle front rest, w micrometer adjustments.
    Flat metal plate screwed to the forearm that rides evenly on the flat plate front rest.
    Set up to free recoil straight back
    40 power Tasco Scope.
    After set up I do not touch the rifle with my cheek or shoulder, just 2 oz trigger pull
    One hole groups are common. It keeps up with the exotic “Group Specific” high dollar
    Bench rest guns.

When you’ve got that thing in a sled like that, fire a shot and then dial your scope cross hairs down to from the point of aim (bulls eye) down to the point of impact. Makes for a super quick zero, can be done in 2-3 shots total. Hard to do without a very solid position like a sled but saves on ammo ($) and time.

    Nice setup.
    One thing, I've found sometimes with the Hawke scopes (I have several), as there's no Eyepiece Lock Ring you can sometimes get a little eyepiece wiggle if you knock it or use flip covers.
    I pop a 30mm O-Ring in the gap between the Ocular lens and body to snug down on to.
    It eliminates any possibility of wiggle and keeps dirt and wet out the thread
    I used to use a 30x1mm O-Ring and am currently using a 30x2mm.

    The trick I’ve used for zeroing with a mount like that goes like this.
    Fire your shot.
    Then put your reticle back on the aim point you just used. While looking through the scope, adjust the windage and elevation knobs until your reticle is right on the bullet hole from your first shot.
    Then aim in on your desired aiming point and test. Fine tune if necessary.
    Using this method I’ve been able to zero a rifle in three shots.

    Savages are accurate out of the box because they have a free floated bolt head. It doesn't bind. Savages also have a barrel nut so head space alignment can be adjusted while other bra 16:50 nds can't.👍

      I also like that the Accutrigger is user adjustable so you don't need to immediately buy an aftermarket trigger for your new rifle. If you have another Savage in a different caliber the trigger will feel the same.

Took it out to the range and I was getting consistent 0.7-0.9 inch groups at 100 yards with factory cheap hunting ammo. 50 grain tipped Fiocchi ammo. Match ammo is around 0.5 at 100. Best $300 I ever spent on a rifle.

    Well, I happen to have a Ruger Mk II that I bought from KMart in 2000. My brother bought the "special" Savage 110 with scope (cheap scope). I adorned mine with a nice Burris scope. I reload my own 7mm Rem Mag, and my brother bought the bargain basement 30-06 ammo. My Ruger shot dime size groups at 100yds. My brother's rifle, let's say, was lucky to keep them rounds on paper. So he asked me what could be wrong with the rifle (of course it wasn't him). Well I took a look and said the scope needed to be scrapped. Then we checked the rifle bedding. the screws were loose. One issue is that one of the two screws that holds the action is secured through the trigger guard, and in this case it was made of plastic. So we order a metal trigger guard, installed it and the scope and after a bore sight, took it out for a ride. My brother took aim, and fired. He got on the paper, but was nervous about taking a second shot, not knowing if it would group or not. So I helped out and shot the second round. Two holes touching. I told him he should take the next shot and he did. A perfect cloverleaf, that's two shooters and all with his cheap ammunition. His ear to ear grin said it all. And me, I am still very impressed by the capability of the Savage 110.

    Anytime you buy a new rifle you absolutely must take the scope base off degrease it apply blue lock-tight and torque to 25 inch lbs. Same with action screws in this rifle 40 lbs. will do it. If you don’t know torque specks. Contact the manufacturer. Same with muzzle break. If it is not degreased torqued properly it will loosen and shoot fly shit groups all over. I don’t know why manufacturers don’t clean up cutting oil from drilling ect. and allow the firearm out the door. Recipe for disaster and bad reputation. Great Video.

      @@carlmarks6145 Probably not. Haven't had my hands on one or I'd tell you... But their budget lines have had plastic trigger guards for a while now. Really prone to breaking across the bolt hole if you over torque them. A lot of different companies make replacement steel ones though for 20 to 30 bucks. Just verify fitment first. Some savages have the bolt release built into the trigger guard and some like this one is up top near the bolt. The shape of this one is kind of a newer design but the bolt location is older, so not sure if the ones for sale currently fit or not. I'd ask before purchase. Or just replace the whole bottom metal. FYI, this hogue stock isn't the fully bedded chassis one. It's pillar bedded and I've read has a lot of flex in the foregrip area. It's a heavy stock too. With it and the barrel profile it's probably close to 9 lbs without optics if I had to guess.

Hogue stock and cerakote at that price point, yes please! The only thing wrong I’ve found with these push feeds is short stroking will fail to feed.
