Wow, this rifle I bought is making me feel better and better, I think I'm in love!!
You will be once you fire your first shot.

I bought mySavage 110 in .308 used and then put a nice Bushnell 3-9x40 scope on it.

Once I got the scope zeroed in, I went back to the range with a buddy of mine who has a real nice stable bench rest. We locked the Savage .308 into his bench rest and at 100 yards, my rifle printed a 3 round cloverleaf dead center in the bullseye. I couldn't believe it... The he suggested going 4 clicks up on elevation, so it's now 1" high at 100 yards.

Long story short, the .308 is anincredibly accurate, legendary, round. Heck, military snipers still usethe 7.62 NATO (.308) and have done so for years and years. [8D]
I have one on order. Should be here next week. BLR pistol griptopped with a 2x7x35 Bushnell Elite 3200
