That monolithic bullet in the Barnes stuff really changes point of impact a lot!
I had a gun that I was testing and the Barnes stuff impacted almost 10 inches off from where the other traditional jacketed bullets were impacting.
Probably nothing wrong with the scope, just the ammo/bullet design change is causing the difference.
Leave it alone, if you have to change something on that package gun, change out the crappy pot metal Chinese rings and bases.
Thanks. I did change the rings. And bases.
Sighting in savage model 11 .308
Came with a cheap Nikon scope package. Anyways. Sighted in with cheap Remington ammo. Got it right at 100 yards. Switched to Remington with Barnes al cooper, and it shot left. Several inches.
Why?
Crappy scope?

So question is, do these cheap savage guns shoot well at 600-800 yards? Considering dialing the ammo and a high end glass. Like to hear who has seen this first hand with this gun.

The above is from another thread and why you have a shift in POI with the different ammo.I believe that the muzzle moves in a circular motion which is caused by the bullet interacting with the lands and grooves.
Action - reaction thing.
The moment that the bullet leaves the muzzle, the orbital position of the muzzle at that time determines/influences POI.
So bullet speed, bullet weight and barrel length would factor in as well.
That savage wasn't $800.00Savage Arms : Firearms : Model : 11/111 FCNS
$800 msrp isnt exactly cheap...
I don't own a Savage so cant tell you how it will do but I'm thinking if you want to go beyond 300yds with a stock hunting rifle you might want to make certain the action is bedded and consider handloading.
got it. sorry.That savage wasn't $800.00
It was like $550.00 with that cheap Nikon scope.
