Default Savage rifles

Finally got my new Savage 11FL (.223 Rem) last week. Installed a 4 - 16X scope and took it out this weekend. Following my painstaking long break-in of shooting, cleaning, shooting, cleaning, etc. until I got about 50 rounds through it.
Initial results of 5 shot groups seem very impressive. Going to be a great spring finding out which load this rifle likes the best but seems to prefer bullets in 50 - 55 gr range.
This is my third experience with Savage arms in the past year and I am very pleased with them. They ain't the prettiest guns in the safe but all are very good shooters.
Just goes to show you - you cant judge a book by its cover.
