Zak you are right it takes a lot of practice.I put over a 1000 rounds through the 2 savages I have this year.I shoot once a week usually outside of deer season,with lots of different calibers.These shots were off a bench.The deer I took @234yds I rested off the window seal from a blind,if I had had to shoot off hand I would never attemped the shot.Shot one off hand that was at a trot @65yds through the shoulder and one standing still in the head @35 yds.
If I had of practiced with my encore or ruger I could have done the same with them.
