RE: bought the savage 110
I have 2 Savage model 110's. One is 243, the other in .308
The 243 will shoot 1/2" groups at 100 yards off of sandbags. I always measure from center to center of the two hole that are the farthest apart.
Congrats to you sffguitar! I wish you the best of luck with your new rifle. I have taken 5 deer with my .243.
