@jerrylee6681 Месяц назад

Honestly if he were a more serious shooter who isn't just knocking things around at the range (nothing wrong with that) that two liter bottle wouldn't have had any luck to begin with. Also the other part of the 'scout concept' is really having a high eye relief scope and a ching sling. as it sits in the video thats just a bolt action rifle with iron sights.

@Uberragen21 8 лет назад

+smartchip - A firearm is not the only means of self defense; it's only one tool. A knife in the right hands can be a much more devastating weapon, albeit at very close range.

@smartchip 8 лет назад

Uberragen21 Thank you sir, i find it puts me at ease to know there is still good people out there, in regards to your answer, yes it is true, defending myself and others it is not the only tool ( firearms) to do so, but, its easier to know you can stop someone in their attack with the sight of a firearm, also other means if needed to be used are very scary and i dont think ( being honest) i could do so,i am not a person that likes to hurt anyone,its a really loaded subject , i would act upon my self defense training, but, that is thanks to my trainers, its abit sad to think, you may have to resort the a violent act to curtail a violent act, such is the world we live in, My friend, a blessing and well wishes to you and everyone you know, I hope you understand my perspective, it seems like the possibility of running into such people of destructive thoughts and mindsets is increasing, so its a consideration, sorry about the tangent

@SlipKnotRicky 8 лет назад

I noticed that the parting line on the "Polymer" stock is not "clean". I have worked in the injection molding industry and it should have been removed during manufacturing. Attention to Detail!

@TheFoodnipple 8 лет назад

Savage stocks have always been pretty low on the quality scale

@StapledFish 8 лет назад

+SlipKnotRicky Yeah I said the same thing and some dude tried to say they make quality rifles. They may make quality bolts, triggers and barrels, but the rest of it looks unfinished so I have doubts about the whole thing. They took the cheap route and did the 4 main steps, didn't go out of their way at all to make it look decent.

@tonsofgunsoffun8516 8 лет назад

I thought the same thing. $800 and you can't have a clean stock? Smh

@StapledFish 8 лет назад

Ryan Laha How much do you think costs to sand off casting makes? Even if it was 100% mil-spec it wouldn't be $800. They put the stock in there as a hefty price, inflated to around 20% of the total cost, and at price it should be finished.

@desertfox2020 8 лет назад

+Stapled Fish Can't speak to their current quality, but I have a model 110 in 25-06 from about ten years ago and it is fantastically accurate. The trigger is great too, but it has a wood stock so I don't know if their polymer stocks used to be better than this. Looking at this rifle, I think I'd rather have a Ruger Gunsite if I wanted a .308 scout rifle.

@MrStaton352 7 лет назад

@ 4:00 that has to be a record for hickok45. In all the videos i have seen of this man, i have never seen him miss that many consecutive shots.

@johnharvey892 8 лет назад

I myself AM into precision shooting. I hunt a lot of small game, so being able to put a round down range on a squirrel or rabbit and hit in the head so you don't damage the meat, is important. I love your channel and watch you everyday. And you have a natural point of aim that most benchrest shooters I would die for. You never cease to amaze me with your body mechanics and your Kentucky windage. Happy new year Hickok.

@mr99gto 8 лет назад

Having recently purchased a model 11 scout & putting a few rounds through it I've found it is a great shooting rifle, manageable recoil & able to get a fairly tight group with it at 100 yards.

@lostforevermore7150 8 лет назад

@perryparsons9960 8 лет назад

Impressive video, and thank you for taking the time to do it. It isn't often we get to see something in your hands that is just awkward for you. This is one of those times. You've said many times you aren't a rifle guy, have seen you work absolute magic with handguns at distances that aren't the norm, so we all know your skills are not in question. I intend to get one of these rifles, because my use is totally different than yours. Many have stated in the comments section this would not be good at long range, and I agree with their opinion. This is a 150-200 yard rifle, and it would be rare, in the heavy brush I hunt in, to get the chance at a shot at that distance. Where this rifle would shine is at close distances, in the .308 caliber would be very effective as a deer or hog gun for a one shot/maximum damage/drop them where they stand. Coupled with a 4x scout scope I can see it being very effective once it is dialed in, for those of us with diminished vision where optics make or break the weapon.

My Long Range rig started life as a Savage model 12 in .308win. I was going to build a long range budget build. After $3800+ dollars it's not a budget build, lol. It's now a 6.5x47L. I had SSS flute the bolt, add a competition trigger set at 2#'s. Then they Timed and Trued the action, adding a SS McMillan 28" barrel. A Choate Varmint stock, Farrell 20moa mounts, 2 Harris bi-pods, along with a 6.5x20x50 LR/T Leupold w/varmint reticle... I've left out a number of things.. I know you don't like shoot long distance but I love the 1000 yrd+ shots, not real easy... and yes a .13" 100yrd group, with my hand-loads is fun... My family has hunted all my life, I'm 67 now. I took nearly 40 mule deer and 4 elk, we ate every last morsel of meat and enjoyed it all.... I have a number of handguns but long guns are my cup of tea, to each his own....

Rifle looks accurate judging by bullet strikes. He is shooting a bit to the right, but his consistency is so good, he is just missing in the exact same spot repeatedly. I'd say it's the sights. Click or two to the left and he's all good. Drive on, Hickock 45!

A very nice upgrade to the model 10 scout rifle. A new rifle from the basic Hog Hunter rifle. The adjustable cheek piece and the recoil pad up grade along with the three sling swivels make the stock much better. The detachable magazine makes it a quality package. Further the front sight is much better than the model 10. The muzzle break I am not sure however the threading is a plus. Thanks for the review.

One of my brother's bought the Mod. 11 awhile back. To put it mildly, he loves it. It would be my guess that Savage puts the same workmanship into each of the rifles they manufacture. That said, my brother's rifle is a tack driver. I'm looking into buying one myself.Many years ago, I had a custom .243 Win caliber rifle made using a left hand Savage action. The bolt is the smoothest I've ever used.

I like it! Savage makes a great rifle, in my opinion, I own a couple at the moment. Thanks for another great video!

@bullast2046 8 лет назад

Great buy. Sighted it in? How's it shoot? .5MOA? 1 MOA?

@No_Skill42 8 лет назад

+J Bullast got one to. Shoots a 1-.5 moa on a good day

@bullast2046 8 лет назад

+brayden hepworth That's not bad. That with factory ammo or hand-loads?

@No_Skill42 8 лет назад

factory ammo, I forgot which brand haven't been shooting in awhile with it.

@bullast2046 8 лет назад

brayden hepworth DAMN! That's awesome. I spent WAY more than that for a .5MOA gun on factory loads. Sad face. Well, let me know if youre shooting little enough that you decide to sell it. LOL

I have an uncompensated 338 win mag from savage. Lightweight hunter with stainless barrel and fiberglass stock. I feel the stock flex every time I pull the trigger from how sharp the recoil is.

@hunterdka 8 лет назад

I owned and shot many bolt actions rifles and savage is my favorite. My 270 shot as well as a friends Dakota Arms 270 very impressive for a rifle that cost 429.

Hockock is the only guy I know of that cant hit a 2 liter from 75 yards with a rifle, but can pull out a Glock and hit the gong at 100 yards. The dude is incredible.

@boomdawg56 5 лет назад

I looked at the Ruger, Savage and Mossberg scout rifles. I settled on the Mossberg in 5.56, it is a fun gun to shoot. Easy to carry, accurate, Cooper had the right idea for a do it all rifle. And the Mossberg will accept AR mags, a bolt gun with 30 rounds in the box is a riot.

@amcluesent 8 лет назад

Don't think Hickok likes that rifle.

@Jesses001 8 лет назад

+amcluesent I agree. He seems to like the idea, but the slight quarks of this rifle are turning him off a bit. If he was going to spend some time with it, I bet he would warm up to it a bit. First date and all.

@tireballastserviceofflorid7771 8 лет назад

+Justin Gruwell It makes a lot of sense. If your a good shot and take the time required one shot is all you need. You should never ever blast a 308 at a dear or hog. Pistol scopes or scout scopes work well and are up to the 6x range. 200 yards or less would be a cake walk. Scout rifles are proven to be fast pointing and very effective.

@Jesses001 8 лет назад

+Justin Gruwell 6x is not good for long range? Where do you live? I am guessing on the grass plains? 6x is far too much for anything you will do in a forest like where I live. You can make a 600 meter shot with this rifle with a decent optic. If you are shooting at 1000 meters, then I would agree that this is not the best rifle for the job.For a 400 meter or less hog gun, I do not want a big and heavy rifle. It is better for a faster snap shot as well. That happens often in a stalking hog hunt.

@tireballastserviceofflorid7771 8 лет назад

Jesse Sisolack The bolt gun was originally a war gun. The draw to bolt guns are the simplicity. Many less moving parts than many semi autos. And as a rule a bolt gun will last many more years than an auto without repairs. All they did was shorten a rifle and make it easier to point and quicker on target. As for all these long range shots... The longest shot I have ever made was 225 yards in Tennessee on a hog with a 308. The rest have been 90% under 100 yards. And I have hunted in 7 states over the last 40 years. If you are a youngster with limited trigger time an auto seems perfect. But a bolt gun is nearly fool proof and can be cleaned in the field with less or no worries of losing a critical tiny part. Compare a 7mm mouser to an AR15. The AR has special AR tools just for cleaning. Aint no such thing as a mouser tool.

@StapledFish 8 лет назад

Is this a show model or something because some of it looks unfinished. It weld spotting that just been painted over (muzzle break) and they didn't even clean up the mold seam (top of the rear stock, bottom and top of the fore stock, right beside the bolt on both sides) You can see all of this from 6:46 to 7:30. Can't be a good sign if in less than a minute you can see all the sloppy work. I wouldn't trust this thing with my life.

@ThumpertTheFascistCottontail 8 лет назад

+Stapled Fish Yup. It's a Savage :(

@pierrotgodot 8 лет назад

+Stapled Fish the molded plastic stock isnt intended to save your life, at least as far as i know. Savages are accurate and well made, if you're looking for a nice wood stock buy one of their other models, or a weatherby. maybe it'll come with lipstick to match your purse

@StapledFish 8 лет назад

pierrotgodot Poor attention to detail on anything is a sign of a bad product. You wouldn't buy a new car with sloppy casting marks on the engine, or spotty, unclean welding on the frame. Sure, it'll run but what makes you so certain that it wouldn't snap a break line if there are so many problems with it already. Your argument is trying to make it sound feminine to want a quality product. So unless you can tell me there's a legitimate reason for skipping steps in production, I'll maybe believe how "well made" Savage makes their rifles. #rekt

Hickok45: I'd love to see a video on the slide fire mechanism where the recoil of the gun makes it an automatic, but the gun itself is not an automatic. Thanks!, and I love your channel!!
