Don't worry about what anybody says.. Your videos are very helpful to us average shooters and hunters. If anyone thinks they can do better then post your Owen videos. These are hunting rifles and hunting ammo.. Keep the videos coming I watch everyone.
Adam, I have liked Savages back when 10/10 people called them junk for how cheap they cost. I've gotta say I've never owned one that shot bad, ALL good. Excellent boolot sling'n brother!!!👍👍
I remember my dad's disappointment when I bought a Savage model 10 predator(he would ONLY carry a Remington). His attitude changed when it shot clover leafs at 100 yards.
@galenpedersen4755 That's what I'm talkin about 👍 I've had the same experiences with Mossburg when everyone criticized them, I personally loved them! 😀
Had a savage aXIS II in 25-06, shot same hole at 50 yds, looked like a shotgun at 100 no matter the ammo, factory, reloads etc... bought a second 1, same problem.
Same. I have a 110 Predator in .223 that can make one hole out of 5 shots with 69gr Sierra HPBT, and then did the same with 60gr Hornady V-Max’s. Love my Savage rifle.
You are a hunter shooting deer catching boolot slingers. This is some of the best groups I've seen you shoot and from a store bought savage and from store bought boolots. Great thing with that rifle is that it's a 308 and it will shoot about anything at 100yds. If you go off somewhere and forget your boolots and it does happen, you can find a box of 308 about anywhere and that boolot slinger will sling about anything. I watch your videos everyday. May be 2 in the morning when I'm on nights but I do watch. Keep doing what you're doing the way you want to do it.
I have the same gun in 30-06. It liked the 180 Remingtons but loved the Federal terminal ascent and federal loaded partitions. Both 5/8” groups. Very fine rifle.
Have the same rifle in a 300wsm and it shoots fantastic with my handloads. 168 gain Hammer Hunters at 3100 fps sub 1/2". Great rifles....but yes, as others have stated, it is heavy for a "High Country" rifle. If you want a light Savage....the ultralight is the way to go. They shoot great as well.
I realize I am a little late to the party; however, that is an amazing group. It is definitely a point zero something group and for a hunting rifle with hunting ammo, that is superb. Congrats on the point zero group. You don't see them everyday for us "average" folk. Keep up the good work!!
Ha ha, I was about to ask if you cleaned the barrel after so many shots, then you mentioned it. I have to agree with you about the Savage trigger, my 110 has a wonderful trigger, right out of the box, no need to even think about adjusting it.
Awesome shooting rifle along with the marksman behind the trigger. Don’t forget the ragged one hole 🕳️ group with the Savage M110 Trail Hunter in 300 WSM, which to me is just as or more impressive since it’s a harder recoiling cartridge. 😎🦌🇺🇸
So many times i get a buddy that brings a rifle over and wants me to help him get it zeroed and shows up with one box of ammo.... luckily i like boo lot slingin so i usaully have a couple boo lots to contribute, Thanks for the videos!
Great video as always adam.. Now let's see what that model does in other calibers... nothing would have thought savage now be sitting at the top of the game..
Dang Hoot, that Savage likes nearly everything! 🎉 Despite what many believe, under an inch and a half is deadly and plenty for venison harvesting operations! 😮 Nuff said. ❤
Thanks for the video man always enjoy them. Really digging the love for the 308 lately. It is my favorite cartridge for sure. I would like to see you do a review on the savage 110 ultra lite in 308, 30-06 or 280 ackley improve? Thanks again for the video God bless
You convinced me to buy one. I bought it from a friend of mine who has a FFL for just over $1k. Bought a Vortex Viper PST 5-24x50 FFP. I’m extremely excited to tans it to the range and try to touch it at 1000 yards.
Good video!!! I can't believe someone would complain about you using all Remington ammo?!? Now days you shoot what you can find and at least the price is reasonable with rem ammo.
I need to take my Storm in 25-06 back out to the range. It shot pretty good, even with PPU ammo. I have not used a lead sled as I cannot get comfy behind one. Front bag only, as that is the closest to deer stand shooting style for me. Ammo price has come down some, but still up in the clouds. Considering trying some ELD-X and others, although Hornady Whitetail are pretty consistent and the price is $weet.😊
Crazy you’re reviewing this now as I just got one too. Taking it to the big range tomorrow but I have a sneaky suspicion it’ll be the most accurate gun in my safe
Excellent!!! I have three rifles that I need to do this type of sighting in with because I went with the “Fancy” ammo and bought a lot of it, simply because thats what i wanted it to shoot. Didn’t work out so well. I was about to call a browning rifle I bought a piece of crap. Then changed ammo twice and happy days. Now I’m trading ammo, go figure.
That rifle is secured three ways on the action by an and aluminum bedding that extends all the way through the forearm of the stock. I have a storm in 30-06 that loves 165 , 172 ,and 180 grain . I kinda have had the same experience with these rifles. Remington has their premier long range if you can get a hold of it . They are 172 grain bonded Speer impact bullet. For 308 and 30-06.
I’d say a lot of good guns have been traded in back in the day because of not the ammo they liked 👍 I know I have learned a lot over the years thanks for all your videos
Yes francis i agree he should more data is more better as hes said good point. To stay on top and say uve tested something to the max has better understandings
Find out wat the box velocities say and barrels tested compare and match too cuzz I garentee if u shoot long range and its not the same barrel lenght ur doop and calculations will be off at a exstended range ill promise that more data more better its science
Getting an aluminum bedding block in a factory available stock is great. I have the older 110 predator. Similar features minus the cerakote and fluting
Great video, great groups, well except one, which was still excellent. Love your videos. How 'bout an experiment. This is based on a video I saw over on Backfire. His was based on someone else's experience. Clean the barrel, foul with copper, and shoot a couple more groups with copper only.. The theory is some rifles don't like the mixing of copper and lead projectiles and the copper after lead is less precise than copper from copper only rifles.
I convinced my brother and two of my nephews to try Savage. They all were surprised. My brother has a 284AI and he uses it for everything now. My nephews bought 308s, same. Yes, you can have under an inch in Savage rifles with the right load. For dollars spent, the best value out there. If I "needed" another rifle, or if I just want another rifle, it WILL be a Savage. However, I have too many adequate rifles now.
Your unsubstantiated statement clearly showing your uneducated biased snobbish attitude. Since 1894 Savage has been producing excellent firearms, let alone military barrels & ammo design and sales. Purchasing Stevens, Fox, Cresent and keeping these high-quality firearms in production. From Mosin's, Browning 50's and Tommygun production.....understand my reasoning yet?????
Revamped their quality? That’s funny! Savage has always been a very accurate gun , but since it was a great value Richie Riches of the world made fun of the poors who bought them.
In 2003, after much comparison, I went and bought a Savage 116FCSS with a custom factory profile barrel and woodland camo stock, at that point you couldn't even hardly find a scope mount to bolt on it because it was so new, but once I found one, I've never looked back. I sold all my other brands in favor of just this one in 300 win mag. It'll do everything from varmints to moose and 100 yd to a thousand.. All day long
I like to load a bit hot with Nosler accubond 150 grain. If you are going after elk i suggest a good expanding monolithic of 165 grain. It's good out to 500 yards as long as you make a good shot on your game animal.
I shot my 629 w/ 8 3/8” barrel today. That thing surprises me every time I shoot it. Can’t imagine a 500 mag. Hurts the hand after 12-16 shots. Your hand made me think of it.
I love my model 29 8 3/8" 44mag., try a rubber Houge Mono Grip to cushion the recoil and help prevent hurting the hand. I ring a steel 36" plate at 330 yards open sight with mine.
I have a savage 112J single shot varmint bbl started life as a 220 swift. Melted the barrel off of it. Now I have 7 different caliber barrels for it. I have 3 other savage rifles in the 110 series and they are shooters out of the box. I have 2 axis forst models i did some work on them replaced the 8lb triggers put them in wood stocks, stress free pillar and epoxy bedded and they flat shoot. I want to play with the mossberg patriot in wood stock now. Backfire had one that was garbage and a few other people have had horrible luck with them. I want to take one apart, check the trueness of the action/barrel and see why they are having problems. Yiu had one that shot pretty well i believe.
Good shoot'n, as you usually do. Three in one hole, my hat is off, not just tipped, but on the table. Take care of that hand. It takes a while, a hand is delicate and precise instrument. Take it slow and exercise it get the strength back. Have you seen any 220 grain 30 cal bullets lately? I hunt in the Big Thicket a lot.
hey my brotha adam you shoot what knocks them down n causes shock n awe , great stuff all around n check out atn and xs sights companies , great stuff there , talk soon bro > tom !
dam fine rifle. fyi Ron was talking about shooting coppers then regulars, said you may need to fire a fouling shot or two. im curious if it could shoot even better. I always enjoy the content. f
