I like my Savage and would buy another if it were lost or stolen. Shoots great and the price was decent. Can't ask much more than that.

I have not experienced the scratching issue with the stock. They are not painted, just your run of the mill cheap synthetic stock. I just checked mine, I could not leave a mark on it with my fingernail.

Anyone else hear that sub x bullets will be available for reloading soon? Midway shows them available 11/03 for $34 per hundred.

I use vihtavuori n-110 for 190gr noslers. It is clean, quiet, and cycles the action.

Nice 3 shot group, the GD is shooting well for us. My charge is 23.0 gr 1680, CCI 450. I'm photo upload challenged, but this load was <.450, with the same charge of CFE BLK being slightly larger due to the cold bore shot. Velocities of both loads both 2140-2150 fps. Dunno if I can get another 1/2 g...

Did some load development for Speer gold dots this morning. Best load came in at .44 moa at 100 yards! Only a three shot group, so I need to load some more of that load to prove it or see if I just got lucky. I also shot another five shot group with Hornady sub-x. It was right at 1 moa. https://i.po...

Well, I loaded up a few rounds tonight with 8.1gr n-110 and 190 nosler custom comps. Shot two over the Chrono to check velocity, running about 1000 fps. Second shot of the actual group had a light primer strike so I ended up with only a four shot group. Must need to adjust my sizing die a little. Th...

Dellet, you are correct. I didn't mean to sound too modest. They are some fantastic groups, just thinking I can tighten them up a bit with handloads. Maybe not, time will tell. I need to do some load development and see what that brings. The factory Hornady is way too loud for my liking with my aac ...

Managed to only get 12 shots through the Savage today. Mounted a Vortex strike eagle 1-6 scope. Shot two sighters then the two five shot groups. Range was 100yds using Hornady 190 sub-x. Looks pretty promising, I'm guessing most of the horizontal dispersion was due to my rusty trigger finger. https:...

I just picked one up today. Hopefully get a scope mounted and a few rounds through it this weekend. The mailman is supposed to leave me a 51t mount for my suppressor tomorrow. Will try some of my reloads for my 10" ar pistol. I'm guessing they might go super though. Will report back.
