All right all you magnum hunters is there anything off the shelf better?

The is off the shelf the 2nd time I shot my Savage, and the only time I have ever done this. It was with TC Shockwave 300g at 100 yards with supplied sabot. Chap

This is at 200 yards with Barnes Origonals 300g and 67g of 4198. The cost of the gun was $550 for a Synthetic Stock Savage with SS barrel, $200 for a Bushnell Elite 3x9 scope and $100 for Ware Mounts and Weaver Grand Slam Rings. If I were buying again, I would get s 4-14 Sitron Scope and a Thumbhole Laminate Stock, since I am a treestand hunter. They are 1.5" guaranteed out of the box. Encore can do the same thing on Accuracy, as can the Omega. With Blackhorn 209, I think any of these guns is a good 200 yard gun no problem.
If you want 200 yard gun any of them will do that, if you want 300 yard gun then go with the Savage, since it can shoot smokeless.
