Listen to Mystic

[Lionhill]

Just some simple words of advice. When MysticPlayer gives you advice about a rifle, or bullet build - listen to him. He knows his stuff.

Shot this on Friday from 200 yards from a Savage .223 Mode 12 BTCSS

Rifle bedded and tuned by mysticprecision.

69 Grain Sierra matchkings with Varget
Leupold EFR 6.5-20 glass.

If he can help a guy like me get groups like this, anything is possible!

Thanks Jerry.

[Kelly Timoffee]

Only one touching the dot??

 

[Shooter ----/]

5 1/2 inches at 200 yards? Meh.

 

[DrawBlood]

You know they're jealous that the new Remingtons can't shoot...haha jk...I meant not as well.

 

[Shooter ----/]

I have both and my Savage out does my Remington easily!

That group looks very nice.

 

[Mystic Precision]

Thanks LH, was a great day with excellent conditions. show them the other groups that were shot - unless we left it hanging on the board???

We should have taken a pic of the rest you used. Great shooting given the set up.

A steadier rest and you would have put them all into the same hole.

nice when a plan comes together.

Your loading has also come along very nicely. That was very nice ammo you made up.

we will have to stretch out its legs when the weather warms up.

good stuff

My savage 12BTVS loves the 69gr matchkings ...

Lucky bugger. Mystic is very knowledgeable. I definitely owe him a beer if I ever meet him. Thanks for your wisdom Mystic.

Are you guys getting paid by Savage? Quite the advertisement!
Just wondering if we can advertise for Remington with logo.

I would rather shoot 4" groups with a Rem than any group with a Savage

No never shot a Rem or a Tikka that wouldn't shoot 1" or under at 200 yards..bone stock.

Was it an older Remington? I can definately see a Tikka doing that, but I am kinda partial to things made in that area, being part Swede.

I can vouche for Tikka but I think you are full of #### claiming all bone stock Remmy's will shoot 1/2 MOA at 200.


I have had very bad luck with Remmy's latley. No Remmy hate, but the faster you peel that barrel off and it hits the garbage the better off you'll be.

Factory Savage barrels have been much nicer to me.

Neither are all that #### hot out of the box IMO, they are both great platforms for a match barrel, till then its a bit like playing the lottery.

 

[noneck180]

3 XR-100s, 3 Senderos, and 4 VSSFs..all would shoot under an 1" at 200.

 

[lejarretnoir]

I'll give credit to Savage for screwing on better barrels these days. Hard to argue that. They make good F-Class entry guns. Enjoy your Savages.
Now, if the other manufacturers ever woke up to that fact.

BTW,
There are plenty of stock Rem 700's shooting 1/2 MOA. I'm not impressed with the finish of the SPS.
Nor have I ever liked that bolt release/safety that moves with the trigger on a Savage. Sorry can't get past it.
