Go ahead get out there already! You are making me squirm! Well, tell us about it: What do you have there, what glass sits on top, give us all the details. You don't need the most expensive gun in the world to shoot well, nothing to be ashamed of here!

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!The day i got the gun i've been itching to shoot it so much i went out and bought blank shots that u can practice with and i've been doing that to be come better at squzzing the trigger..But i haven't had an open weekend something has always popped up... But i found a weekend and were using it.. And the scope that came with the rifle was the one that comes with the savage package(3-9x40) i do plan on getting abetter quality scope.But this one will have to do for the this year.This does not have the accutrigger but the guy that sold us the gun gave us this number were they will install the accutrigger so i do belive were going to give him a call and see wat we can do...And this rifle also has the detachable mag,3 postion saftey..

Sounds like a decent setup you have there. Firing the rifle with snap caps (I assume that is what you have) is EXCELLENT practice. Make a small target you can put across the room to aim at and practice aligning the sites while pulling the trigger. This actually will improve your accuracy and is better than nothing! Bench rest shooters, target shooters, even the USMC practices in this manner know as "snapping in". Keep it up, sounds like you are going down the right road, best of luck this hunting season.

I have a 7mm mag and it is a great gun. I'm sure you'll love yours. It's a little hard on the deer though. I made the mistake one year of using 150 gr ballistic tips and they absolutely destroyed the deer I shot. Maybe heavier bullets, round nose I don't know. Maybe somebody here could recommend a good deer load.

Nice rifle! I've hit deer with the BT's also and it will make a mess to say the least. I tried the 150gr swift sciroccos next and they leave a hole you can stick your fist in. Then I found the 140gr nosler accubonds and theyre perfect! I load them a little light @ 3100 fps which gives me good close and long range performance. They dont tear the meat up and are very accurate.
Here's my baby,remington sendero SF in7mm saum. 26in bull barrel, fluted, free floated, glass bedded, leupold 4.4x14 40mm B & C scope w/ 30mm maintube. shoots inside 1/2 minute with the accubond 140's. Ive had the trigger set @ 2.5lbs with no creep and also had the action touched up.
