I wasn't aiming at the bulls eye... there was this fly that had landed right on that one spot....

Years ago I use to go over and watch the guys who did a 1000 yd shoot every other month...
Like anything there was the regular crowd guys who always love to dominate the competition...
However they cursed when two different guys would show up, as they regularly beat the "REGULARS"...
ONE was a shop teacher, who built himself a 6 BR with a one in 7 twist....
The other, was a young 18 yr old kid, whose dad was one of the regulars... the kid was from Alaska like his dad, and was an Eskimo....
He use to beat the regular crowd also... he worked part time for $8 and hour and was still going to high school.. he bought the one gun he had saved up for during a summer of mowing lawns etc....
A plain jane Savage in 260, a Model 11....paid $300 for it brand new, when that was the list price on them...or close to it...He'd clean the clocks of the others whenever he came with his dad... He liked my load data I shared with him a lot...
The "REGULARS" hated him for that rifle he had.. a real cheap factory off the shelf Savage.....
I think what pissed them off all the more was tho his optics... once again, "all he could afford".. a $75 Tasco World Class Plus in 4 x 16....
The Rifle did its job, so did the Tasco, and being young and with good eyesight, a lot of the older guys didn't...
I don't think I ever saw the kid lose...to "The Regulars"...
and between him and the High School Shop teacher.. it usually was nip and tuck, and a coin toss who would win.. when both of them showed up...
No flies on the Savage... Sounds like a tale straight out of Peabody's Improbably History. Well it might... but it wasn't... but one can take it or leave it as they please...

While I still think the Savage is a good buy for what you are looking for, it still doesn't mean I wouldn't suggest the ER Shaw barrel in 260... This is a pic of the target of an ER Shaw barrel in 260, that I put on a Model 70 action... this was just sighting in the new barrel... ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/P10101374.JPG) No flies on it either... Dang only one bullet hit the paper! 😁 Shhhhhhh! Don't tell anyone.. it'll just be our secret...
