Guess Who Got A Savage Model 12 BR For Christmas

[Max Owner]

From the wife!

308 with a 1 in 12 twist rate. So I guess the 155s up to the 180s will be good?

I may rebarrel this to something else as I have a 10FP LE2B in 308. Or may turn the 10 into my "sniper" rifle and use the BR for my target rifle.

Either way I will shoot the 12 first and see how it goes.

Way to go. Christmas came early.

All those bullet weights will work.

Bed it, load up, and go have some fun.

worry, about the next build after you have that silly grin on your face from smacking stuff at silly distances.

Enjoy...

You Lucky ___! Christmas did come early

 

[Crash2k]

Hey Max,

I did the exact same thing...

Execpt that I brought myself the Savage 12 BR in 308 as my Christmas gift.

I can't wait to test that rifle, just waiting for the optic

Have fun!

Does she have any sisters?

 

[warrenb]

Awesome Dude. Guy at the range gets very good groups with H4895 in his.

 

[warrenb]

Needs a bump



Not the rifle but the wonderful lady that gives such a gift.

 

[Max Owner]

She's a twin.

She doesn't like putting pictures of herself on the net. Even cleaned up her Spacebook account.

I am down 2 scopes. Was hoping to get a Sightron 6X24 from Mysticplayer for a 260. But think the Savage 308 will take priority over the Tikka.

6X24 or the 10X50X60 ( I think.....) for the 308?

Plan on long range target shooting to 1,000 with this one. Suspect I'll get another Near base and ring set up. Might go 25 MOA base.......

 

[t-money]

That must have been the one from Primetime. I was looking at that gun but now I'm thinking the 12lrpv 6mmbr

 

[Max Owner]

Yep.

If you want something let them know. I got a an LRPV in 223 and its a great machine. Did some reloading for it but not much.

Crunching scopes and trying to decide between the 6X25s or the 10X50......

 

[c3pppo]

You won't be sorry if you get the 10x50. Get the target dot reticle for long range shooting. It will make you very happy

 

[Jeromeo]

I don't believe you. It doesn't exist until I see it......

Very wise IMHO

6X24 or the 10X50X60 ( I think.....) for the 308?

The 10x50 has to be seen to be appreciated. Having said that I think my next scope will be an SIII in 6x24 or 8x32.

 

[Max Owner]

My only concern for the 10X50 is a lack of elevation compared to the 6X24.

But I think the 260s balistics are better than the 308s. So the 6X24 will go on the 260 and the 10X50 will go on the 308.

Well..... That was easy.

I should learn how to post pictures.......

 

[Powderfinger61]

Im not the only one posting this, but it really is easy to post pics

 

[juanvaldez]

I have a 10x50 and love it. I do want an 8x32 as well. Too many guns and not enough scopes!!!

 

[Mystic Precision]

With 50 mins of elevation in the 10-50, you have plenty for most 308 uses. Just use the MOA base and Burris Sig rings as needed to shim the scope.

As much as I love the 10-50, it is geared for paper punching. I use my 6-24 and 8-32 way more for LR plinking.

Different scopes, different applications.

[Max Owner]

Thanx guys.

 

[Max Owner]

Trying to get my act together to get the 10X50 from Mysticplayer.

Pictures I will try and work on.......

Im still waiting on my Savage 12 VLP DBM .223 cause I wanted the special 1:7" twist. Should come in any day now...
