No, streching honest. 4-5" groups at 300 yds, and only 20" of hold over. 250 yds is a gimme with this thing.60g n120 and a 300g .458 barnes original at 2300fps will do it.
No, I'm sure its doable, Ive just never taken a shot over 90 yds at a deer w/ a ML is all. The farthest Ive ever shot mine at the range is around 180yds to be honest, and at 1'' high, it only dropped about 2" which was pretty impressive to me.
20" of holdover is probably more than I'd personally feel comfortable w/ but Im a NE brush hunter. If I was out west I'd probably practice regularly at that range.
It really is amazing though what the Savage is capable of.
BTW sorry to HIjak guys.
