Not a thing wrong with a stock savage. They shoot well and are very capable gun. I want ability to 300 yards and have confidence in my shooting iron. This is the only reason I'm making the change.

300 Yards? That is amazing with a M/L.Quote:

More amazing, the skill that is reqiuired; for example a .45 cal 300 gr bullet will need about 5" hold over to zero at 200 yds and the bullet trajectory will drop -20+" at the 300 yds. ...lots of calculations, need almost the same formula they use for a mortar round ..LOL...Quote:

Mike lots of scopes allow for the bullet drop. The 358 ml will sling a 200 grain pill at 2800 fps easily, the .458 will run at 2700 fps. It takes practice but it SHOULD be perfectly doable.Quote:
