ANYBODY USING A CHASSIS RIFLE FOR HUNTING #11758663 01/21/17

OP COCKED Campfire Regular Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 887	I am just wondering if anyone is now using their Chassis rifle for hunting? Ruger, Howa, Savage etc? I just bought a Savage 10ba Stealth in 308 and took it to the range today. I only shot it out to 200 yards but it is Crazy accurate. At 200 it made 3 shot one ragged hole hits. And direct POA....... (Topped it with a SWFA 3-15.) Given the out of the box accuracy and that you don't have to mess with the stock or trigger , I am wondering if any of you guys are now using them for your hunting rifle?

I built mine pretty heavy, so it is not something I want to carry all day, but it is awesome to shoot. As a result, the critters don't much care for it. John Last edited by Hondo64d; 01/21/17.

The short barrel should help keep it manageable and folding stock will keep it compact enough to fit on a wheeler. I also topped mine with a 3-15 SWFA SS. It shoots great, I can’t wait to get it out and hunt with it.

Unlike the XLR, the MDT (in my case) did not require a higher cheek position to get proper scope alignment. I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
