Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

I shot a buddies .300 win. mag. today to help him sight it in and holey cow did it shoot.With Fed.180gr factories it was clover leafing them in there ,bullet holes vertually touching.Sporting a 3x9 Bushnell 3200 for optics.All Savages shoot and plain as hell, but beauty is as beauty does.He was really amazed when I vapourized a couple golf balls@ the 100yrd mark.He's a new hunter and I got him shooting to boost his confidence level.Also played with a Marlin stainless guide gun in 45-70 and now I need one too.Now that I'm getting older I need bigger guns to see the bullet holes! I'll have to try that one on the wife.............Harold

Hehehehe I like that saying...beauty is as beauty does! I got a cabinet full of ugly black guns as well but they sure do shoot good. Put me on the list for wanting a Guide Gun in the 45/70 as well.

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

Savages shoot really well. I get the same results with my savage .300 win mag.

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

Seems like the typical Savage rifle :)I don't think you need a 45-70, I think you need a .35 Whelen ;)

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

;)no real suprise with the savage i've shot many and seen alot more shot and i've never seen a gun more accurate right out of the box.

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

i agree I find my savage 111f in 30-06 is deadly accurate as well. Not the best looking gun but damn accurate and that is what really counts

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

Darn British cals, tough men shoot 45-70!

Savage has long been one of the most accurate out-of-the-box standard production rifles made. For the money, they really can't b beat. Too bad many hunters want the cmooth sleek lines over rugged & accuarte dependability.

Your preachin to the converted................Harold

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

You're pretty weird, of course I was joking.

Oh, so in your mind, jokes=&%$#@!@

I feel sorry for the person who's around you at night when you are watching TV, and Jay Leno comes on TV.

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

So you think jokes are profane, too, eh? I just lost respect for yet another member of the forums today.

I don't know, but why don'tyou can ask him? www.gunandgame.com

If you know him so well, go to the chat room, and try to point him out.
Gave up already?


You know, every time I come here, I'm amazed that this thread was about the Savage 111.:D

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

I was joking, not telling a joke, it's like if my buddy got a Dakota, and he shows it to me, and I handle the action and stuff, and I say to him "Naw, this gun is crap, throw it away, or just give it to me, I may just take it apart and sell the action and get $75."

My joking was long the lines of "Real men shoot .30 cal or bigger."
And I interpreted it into something like "Real Americans shoot 45-70, not .35 Whelen!"

Whelen, is, or definately sounds like, a name of British decent, that's why I said "British cal", I wasn't putting thought into it, it was a spur of the moment joking.

I don't think it's anything that worth making a big deal over, or something that qualifies as bullcrap.

Let's knock it off, this thread is about the Savage 111, if you want to keep arguing about it, then let's go to the off-season forum, and do it there, 'cause nothing is off-topic there.


If you start a thread, let me know, I'll cancel my subscription to it right away.:)


I, for one, am tired and done with this pointless argument, turning this into a pointless thread.

And I'm sorry if I offended anyone here, I don't like having hard feelings to anyone here.

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

Now that the bickering is done all I would like to say is I love my Savages. They are not the fanciest but boy do they shoot. Even though I have quite a selection of cal's and makes, when it's time for rifle seasonit's my old savage 110 7 mm mag I take out of the safe. Maybe it's just the confidence I have in the gun or that I've used it for so long thatevery time that I snap it up to the shoulder it's just like an extension of myself. I love my savage tack driver.

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

Well the way my Model 93 shoots Im surely gonna try one of their rifles...

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

Try shooting the Savage 300 WSM.

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

We are looking into buy my son a 300WM in the Savage line.

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

Model 200 in the 25-06 is unreal......120grain it will knock one down from across town.

RE: Savage111..scary accurate.............
 

I load 120gr HP Hornady's with 54gr-H-4831 SC and Fed mag primers for my son's 25-06 Ruger MK II 77 and three shot groups make one hole.Lots of deer and his first black bear this spring.Nice cartridge..........Harold
