I finally shot my new Savage today. Shoots pretty good. I put a Leupold 2-7x28mm rimfire scope on it (gonna put a Leupold VX-2 4-12x40mm Adj. Opt. on it eventually.
I shot CCI Stingers (32 gr. 1640 fps), CCI Mini-Mags (40 gr. 1235 fps) and Winchester Super X HP's (40 gr. 1280 fps).
Zeroed it at 50 yds. Group sizes were all about the same for all three loads.
At 50 yds.
.75" to 1". A little smaller at 25 yds. with elevation being about the same as 50 yds.
At 100 yds.
I only shot the Stingers and Super X's, groups were 1" to 1.25" (really good since my eye's aren't the best). The Stringers were about 1 to 1.5" low. The Super X's were 4 to 5 inches low.
The magazine sucks gator tain't though!
NYH1.
