@@WHOTEEWHO Tried warning you about the recoil on that 22lr! 😁 Seriously though, not sure how you got hurt but glad the brace isn't needed full-time and it wasn't a serious injury.
I picked up a Trail Hunter after watching your video on the 6.5CM , and I picked it up in 6.5 PRC for antelope. Unfortunately it shot terribly out of the box, so it got returned to Savage. The barrel was bad, and for some reason the barrels were on (and still are) on backorder. They tried to talk me into a different caliber, but I ordered what I wanted and stuck with the PRC. After 5+ months they were tired of me calling every three weeks, and they offered me a free upgrade to something they had in stock, being a Proof Research barrel in 6.5 PRC. Today I got to break the barrel in and I'm ecstatic!! After 6 shots, with cleaning after each shot, the barrel settled in and shot a sub .400" three shot group, and repeated with another even smaller!! Savage customer service is second to none!!! (And now my trail hunter weighs less and shoots great!!)
You really can't go wrong with Savage... Boyd's has aftermarket stocks for Savage rifles that make it feel custom and hand fitted. The thumb hole stocks are personally my favorite.
Very impressed with that accuracy! I am praying for your thumb. I know that what you do for youtube requires you to use your hands. The fact that it is your right hand complicates things even more. Praying that you heal quickly and don't require surgery.
Another great video Savage is the new out of box accuracy champion that's why I switched from Remington ps soak that hand In Epsom salts 3 times a day hot water it helped me when I jammed my hand in basketball
I bought a 243 in 2003 with the accutrigger and it shot amazingly good. So I can say that they've done very well out of the box for over 20 years from experience. 👍🏼
@@shanevonharten3100Savage does it cheap by having a floating bolt head which won't bind. They also have a barrel nut which they can adjust for perfect head spacing. Others screw the barrel in tight but if the threads in the receiver or on the barrel are off even a fraction, they melt the barrel and start over. I have a Marlin X7S Savage clone. The Remington 783 is also a Savage clone.👍🤩
I have an old Savage 10 FCP in .308 that just hammers small groups. It's been to 1500 yards once, many many times to 1200 yards. Taken varmints to whitetail. I never kept a round count but it has pulled double duty as long range for fun and hunting for several year's. Some of my handloads have been HOT!! but after all that shooting, (lot's) it still hammers. The barrel longevity of the 308 is a real plus! The Speer 130 gr FBHP, (flying ash tray) running 3100 makes it hard on varmints. For long range I still run the old Sierra Matchking 175gr. One of those rifles that shoots most anything good and some excellent. Nice rig WTW. Great video and shooting!! ( With a busted hand no less!!) Keep'em coming!
Weird. Most of my hunting rifles over the years were Sakos, (.308, 30 06 and .300 Weatherby all loved 165 grain bullets, which I ended up using for deer, elk and black bear. Looking forward to seeing if the Savage likes them.
Nice rifle. Good shootin. I just recently got dies and boolots for my .270 but dang if I'm not gonna have to try some of those Corelokts' since you've been having real good luck with them. If they shoot as good for me then I will try to get some for reloading.
I had a Ruger American in 308 that would shoot 1/2" groups with 165 Hornady Whitetail ammo. But it also was under an inch with 150 and 180 as well with Federal and Winchester ammo, so i could have had a rare exception. I wished I could have kept it but I couldn't shoot it as i hurt my shoulder recently and I sold it when shooting it hurt too much. I went with a 243 in a CVA Scout and it too does groups under an inch at 100 with Winchester power point 100 grain.
I've said it in your comments before, but my go to deer rifle is my Savage 10FXP in .308 It was a walmart special several years ago that came with Bushnell 3-9 x40 Mine isn't very picky at all about what ammo I use... From my experience, Savage rifles in general aren't that picky. I've owned a total of 4.. 3 I still own. For deer hunting I've been using the Hornady American Whitetail 150s. Anchored some big bucks with that setup.
ADAM...Isn't it incredible, various companies can make Low end Rifles shoot extreemly accurate, and WINCHESTER'S New Model 70 is not that great even though it has, a cold Hammer Forged Barrel. ?
My Weatherby Vangard 308 likes the 168 grain ballistic tip. Consistent 1/2 -5/8 groups or there about. I’m happy. I’m not a big fan of ballistic tip bullets but it is what it is. I have taken 4 nice bucks with this ammo so it is working. If I can find some of the Remington 150 grain core-lok I may try them in the Weatherby. Been thinking about pulling the trigger on a Savage 308. Your videos are really helping me decide. Thanks for all the info you are putting out. All of us really appreciate it.
Very cool, I personally don't like black much. Black is not the best cammo, but if it works:) I see they are tipped 150's. Also do you have to wear ear protection with that can??
Great video. Thanks. If you get a chance, try a TC Venture 2. My Venture 2 in 308 is fairly light, handy, and very accurate with the loads i have tried.
I bought an arrow precision 308 upper and lower bought a whole bunch of the cheapest ammo. I could find shoots like 1 foot groups, but I’ve got five boxes of decent factory loads, including some horn Amax Remington, and Norma. Can’t wait to get to the range and hope one of them shoots well. lol if I would’ve seen this video a few months ago thanks for the content always appreciate it
Hey Adam, Cabela’s has the savage axis on sale right now for $525CAD plus $100 rebait I wanna get a 243 or 6.5CM which one would you get. I have a 6.5CM right now it’s more of a long range setup
@@henryfriesen8614 In my opinion, if primary purpose is deer, then 6.5. If primary purpose is varmints, then .243 but .243 will definitely work on deer. I would just prefer the 6.5 for deer.
Awesome value out of the box for sure. I was wondering if you plan on getting your hands on a cva cascade Scout rifle? The new sr-80. Would love to see a review on the 308 chambered one. I've been looking at it for a couple months. Can't decide if I should wait until more reviews come in.
In all of your world travels, have you noticed any point of impact change in taking on and off your shusher cans? Like shooting it one day at the range, then taking it off and storing the bing bang. Then at a later date put on the can again and see or notice and POI change?
I broke my right hand in a fight once after hitting the guy I hit a steel door in the same swing . Hard to do everything even with a brace on and that hand is still jacked up .
Great vid Whotee..keep on the good work and hope that hand gets better soon. Any recommendations on a super clear glass rifle scope? Bought several of the Burris HD Signatures in 50mm and love em. I'm looking for another option to test out for my wife's new 6.5.
I don't trust 100 yard groups anymore. I have a rifle that keeps em tight at 100, opens quite a bit at 200 and i cant even figure out where it's going at 300. I haven't seen any evidence of tumbling but that's really all i can figure. Im not suggesting that this rifle has a problem, im just saying that maybe you want to confirm at 300 or so yards if you think you'll need the longer range.
You ain't gotta tell me about hot and steamy in tennessee.ive been building a garage in moshiem and it's so humid you can see it in the air. Drink a bottle of water and it runs out of you before you can get up the ladder
Thanks for the video. Look forward to them daily. Tho my wife hates it considering I've picked up about 4 new rifles that you have reviewed.. what bore site are you using now I'm looking for a new one. Thanks
Love your channel. Im disappointed because I hoped you would check out the ruger 10/22 with the 22 inch barrel . Please- this disabled senior 😮citizen would love to see you chrono the difference between the stock 16.5 or 18.5 inch barrel vs the rare or uncommon 22 inch barrel. I seen on eBay there is even a 24 & 28 inch barrel
How does the sound suppression compare between the Banish Backcountry and the Banish 30? I have a B30, but need another can. Thinking of a backcountry, but don’t want to sacrifice too much sound suppression for a smaller size.
I have a question for you or should I say help from you. My wife bought me a Emperor arms Mtp 20 gauge pump shotgun for Father's day, what shotgun is it compatible with (parts)? I I can't find anything on the internet because I want to put a scope on it for deer season.
