Changed out the mounts on this gun to get it ready to shoot today. Well turns out it was built before factory drilling and tapping was the norm..lol. Sooo the 1 piece Weaver base was just a tad off. I took a gringer and cut the base in half and it works perfect now. Found a good set of low rings and put the scope in them and had to remove the front sight to get proper scope clearance. I got the ol Redfield just about perfect sight line level. I mean its RIGHT there when you shoulder it now.

Anyways..bought 2 boxes of 150 core lokts to shoot it in. The Redfield scope (God knows how old) dialed in perfectly. Took about 6-8 shots to have it 1 inch high at 100. The ol 760 really impressed me. I got 2-3 inch groups with the first load I tried. I dont know how inherently accurate the 300 Savage round is but its a winner with me. I cant wait to reload some Nosler BT's in 150 or 165 and try them out. One note...I dont know if it was due to the straight comb or the metal recoil pad but that thing knocked the snot out of me on recoil..lol. Not to worry as per James B reccomendations I ordered 2 shooters friend recoil pads today.

Function was also perfect in the 54 year old Remmy I would really love to know what year that scope was made. Thats the easiest scope I have ever sighted in.
