My favorite flavor.
An old gun guy in my home town spent two hours talking me into buying my first Savage .308. I REALLY wanted a Rem 700, but this gentleman (who knew me well) kept putting the 110 in my hand and telling me that I wouldn’t regret it
Almost 15 years on, and he was right. The barrel is starting to get to the point where I might have to look at a replacement, but it shot better groups out of the box than many tuned rifles do after a few thousand dollars.
I second that emotion. I have a Savage model 10 in .223. The rifle shoots better than I am normally capable. If I'm having a good day I can sometimes do same hole at 100 yds. It is my primary prairie dog gun. Routinely one shot one kill at 300 to 400 yards. Longest shot ever was 540yds. It took two shots but that was with a 55gr VMax Hornady Tap.
