I've owned my savage 110 tactical (chambered in .308) since about '95 . It has proven itself to be capable of incredible accuracy but has been almost exclusivly a bench/bipod gun (due to its heft).it has recently lost 5.5 pounds by removing the rediculous "ultimate sniper" stock. It is still a heavy rifle with a very fat bbl but with the factory (bare bones) stock it is manageable.
slung up on concrete (atterbury) with my only shooting jacket for padding I got settled in prone and set my scope on 6x.when I started shooting I realized what a contortion act "working the bolt"really is,and maybe there is a good reason that m1a's cost so much!
shooting groups of 5 I was pretty consistant at a about 2 1/2 moa, which I was fairly satisfied with , but I feel I can drop these groups with some practice
I did verify (with a bipod) that the gun and load were still capable of sub moa accuracy, which I'm also happy with since these were my first "rifle" reloads (and I got the components for free! Thanks Dad!).
