Thanks guys... I appreciate it. I just wanted to sort of "get to know" the Savage .308 and see what it can do for starters. Nothing serious... just out having a good time and starting to tweak the scope's windage.

You see, anybody can pick up a rifle, shoulder it, sight through it, really like it, and finally buy it. But all that means nothing until you actually FIRE it. I wanted to test it out at 50 yards at first, then move out to 100. I wasn't as steady at 100 as I was a 50, therefore I need to go back to the range and make some sort of rifle rest. Then I can really sight it in for 100 yards and get it fully dialed in.

Thats part of the fun of buying a new rifle, getting to know the gun, and it's tendencies. Man I love this sport
