Just picked up my Predator .223 in Snow Camo  Detachable Mag., Accu-trigger. Accu-Trigger factory set at a Crisp #1.75  This Stock is much better than the previous models, it is Pillar Bedded but still needs a proper bedding, just as soon as the Acra-Glass Gel gets here. The Nikon 4.5-14X40 looks right at home. Hope to post up Pics of Targets by Sunday.  |

Finally came back to a Savage.  Nice looking rig and that Nikon should do the job. |

Range Report: It appears my new Predator .223 likes it Hot & Dirty  Personally; I would prefer it to shoot good from the get go. My Previous Savage, a 12FV shot tiny groups right off of a clean barrel. All in all I am pleased. I have completly Free floated the barrel, however I have not had time to bed the Action. All groups shot from a Harris Bi-Pod. 40 V-Max Loads Clean Bore I get this: After about 20 rounds I get this: |

That second group is a truly awesome group.
Well done.

That second group isn't too bad Sterling. I'm sure it will breakin in somewhat as time goes on. But your old Savage was a better shooter out of the box. I still have my old Model 12 we used to take to the range. It shot these two groups working up my 40gr V-max loads. Five shots at 100 yards. I tried the On Target Precision Calculator and the CTC on the group at the right is 0.043 inches. Not bad for a stock Savage.  |

Jesus. Those are amazing 100 yard groups.
You guys should become professional precision snipers.

You should discard your first group. I find I need to "settle down", then the groups tighten up.
No caffine, or other stimulants, before shooting, either!!

It's a fine gun for shooting ground squirrels and prairie dogs but a bit heavy to pack around.  |
