I'm kindly thinking of going smokeless. I have a few questions about the Savages.
1. Do you need a scale or will the Lee dippers work well enough?
The scale is best but I know a few guys using AA5744 with dippers.
2. What is the base center dimension?
3. Does scope mounting present any problems?
No idea to these. I don't own one yet.
4. Is there a powder/bullet combo that seems to work well across the board?
250 XTP MMP short black sabot or 300 XTP with the same sabot. Powder wise I hear about different charges.
5. What in tar-nation is a vent liner? Do they "wear out" often?
It is a removeable flash hole in the muzzle end of the breechplug. Every 40 or 50 shots they need to be replaced.
Any info about these rifles would be muchly appreciated.
I don't have one but I am planning to get one.
