Savage surprise

[scottjdickey]

Was able to produce this today with a $379 Savage 111 7mm Rem Mag, non-Accutrigger. Couldn't hardly believe it until shot 3 was down the tube. I wiped it down and put it away after that, not going to mess with it.

I assume at 100 yards? If so, nice work. There are many budget-friendly offerings that will shoot Sub-MOA groups. It's nice to see that a guy can get into distance shooting for a working-man's wage. I for one am in that group!

Very good, what brand ammo were you using?

You obviously need an aftermarket trigger and a new custom bedded stock.
lol, nice

Yep, 100 yds bench. Sandbags.
I own better, I've owned worse, but I love taking a bone-stock gun and making it sing.

Spendy, but WOW. I may not bother to reload this caliber.

Yeah right!!!

I have a box stock Savage model 12 VLP DBM in .243 and with factory ammo at 100 yards you have to keep track of how many shots cause you can't always tell from the target. With my hand loads its scarry accurate at anything out to 600 yards.

both of my bone stock savage rifles are my most accurate

My Tikka used to hold that distinction. Previous Savages were certainly very accurate, but this one is amazing.

That's pretty good. My 700 7mm mag wouldn't do that with that ammo.(it does it with my hand loads,but)
PS it wasn't 400 bucks either

My savage has s new barrel but nothing else and I got 5 shots in lincoln's head at 100yards. Savages are the bomb.
