You are getting about like me. I need a gun cabnet with wheels to take everything afield.. I think the 165 or 180 would work well. Another good one to try would be the Speer 150 grain Mag Tip. They expand very well at speeds from 2000 fps on up. They work great in the T?C 30-30 barrel at 2100 fps. A friend of mine has taken some trophy whitetail and caribou with that combo. Tghat out to 200 yards or a bit more. That bullet was off the market for a while but its back now and its a good one.

I have seen quite a few 300 Savages in the 760. As mentioned above, it was the hottest 30 caliber Non Mag out there for quite some time. I have one in the 700 Classic but I don't shoot that one.

Changed out the mounts on this gun to get it ready to shoot today. Well turns out it was built before factory drilling and tapping was the norm..lol. Sooo the 1 piece Weaver base was just a tad off. I took a gringer and cut the base in half and it works perfect now. Found a good set of low rings and put the scope in them and had to remove the front sight to get proper scope clearance. I got the ol Redfield just about perfect sight line level. I mean its RIGHT there when you shoulder it now.

Anyways..bought 2 boxes of 150 core lokts to shoot it in. The Redfield scope (God knows how old) dialed in perfectly. Took about 6-8 shots to have it 1 inch high at 100. The ol 760 really impressed me. I got 2-3 inch groups with the first load I tried. I dont know how inherently accurate the 300 Savage round is but its a winner with me. I cant wait to reload some Nosler BT's in 150 or 165 and try them out. One note...I dont know if it was due to the straight comb or the metal recoil pad but that thing knocked the snot out of me on recoil..lol. Not to worry as per James B reccomendations I ordered 2 shooters friend recoil pads today.

Function was also perfect in the 54 year old Remmy I would really love to know what year that scope was made. Thats the easiest scope I have ever sighted in.

I have a 2x7 redfield Trackerm scope that I bought in the early 70's. Its my favorite scope and its been on some big rifles. It spent a couple years on my Ruger No.1 416 Rem Mag. Never phased it a bit. I have had it on 338's and 7 Mags as well as my 700 Classic 300 Win Mag. There is no hurting that old scope. When you sight it in, it stays. Never had to rezero it unless I changed rifles or drastically changed loads.
