Tell Me What You Think
My most accurate rifle is my Savage 10FP. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that one shoots well too.

RE: Tell Me What You Think
good lookin rifle...
personally i like the black scope and stainless rings...one thing about the rings though...they look a bit high. not sure if you tried the next size or 2 smaller or not...but it looks like they could definently be lower. they say the lower the better...i never tested that...i always try to keep mine as low as i can...with a 50mm lens it'll still be high..but not AS high...
hows it shoot?

In reply to the rings, I like the stainless black contrast plus later I can geta "stainless" scope if I want. As far as thembeing too high, I just told the guy at the local shop to do his thing. I will tell you tomorrow how it shoots. Thanks for the replies.

RE: Tell Me What You Think
I think for accuracy, the Savage is hard to beat. The Banner is not a particularly high-quality scope, (used to be the bottom of the Bushnell line) but every one of them I have used worked OK. I have never used such a high-mag Bushnell, however, and it is at those high magnifications that optical quality becomes very noticeable! In addition parallax adjustment must be very preciseat the high mags.
OK, it's 7/8/07! How did it shoot??

RE: Tell Me What You Think
I am very happy, this rifle is very accurate. 5 shot group at100 yards about an inch and a half, three of them were in a line touching!!! That was in a cross wind that was getting pretty gusty. I expect nothing less from Savage. The Banner is a very pleasant surprise, very clear and great magnification. Thanks
