From what I've been told, there are a few guys that are going to try to put together some rifles and time to shoot this event, after the first of the year. Lately I've been buying these Savage rifles and throwing cheap used scopes on them and this is the result:

Rifle: Savage model 10 predator 223 rem, with Burris MSR 4.5-14x42 223 scope, today at the range:

.819 moa

Target with caliper for reference:

The funny thing about this rifle is I'm shooting the same load I was using when I shot my Northtech Defense in the black rifle challenge and shot a .834 moa. Still in the load development stage with this new 223 rifle though. Tried a few loads with AR comp and a 68gr. hornady bullet, today as well:

This rifle doesn't seem to be very picky. Here's a target from the other day, right after I bought it. I figured I'd try some loads from my old Ruger m77 vt:

Pretty much an "moa all day long" rifle..
