my savage 111 in 270 win would outshoot my father-in-law's rem 700 270 win. this was before the accu-trigger came out.

I had a savage 110 in. 270 shot good but that thing kicked like a beast..nothing at all wrong with the 6mm pill.Like ONE SHOT say right bullet and placement,placement,placement.

RE: Savage Rifles
 

i have a .270 Rem 700 bdl. that thing has always kicked like a mule. i've shot a couple of other calibers that technically produce more recoil, but they haven't felt like my .270.

The 243 savage will fit the bill nicely for what you are using it for. I've killed 2 of those Nebraska deer with my 243, and probably 40-50 other deer with the lil 243, and I've only had one take a step. I worked up a max load pushing a 95gr Combined Technology BT, and they anchor deer very well. In fact, I shot one of those Nebraska mule deer at a lil over 400 yards.

For coyotes the best combination for a fur friendly load I have found is a 60gr Sierra HP @ 3600fps. Anchors 'em in their tracks, and will not exit with a rib-cage shot. If you hit the shoulder blade it could get ugly, but I've only had to throw out maybe a handful of coyotes shot with that load out of well over 100 dogs.

In fact, here is my new coyote/backup deer gun:


That coyote didn't like the 60gr pill yesterday ;)

cma3366a, what scope, rings, loads are you using? That thing is spraying all over. My Savage 116, 7mm, mag shoots 1" to 1.5" MOA all day.

RE: Savage Rifles
 

Sounds like your front scope base may be loose. Maybe the front screw bottoming out and feeling tight but the base still not secured to the action. Worth checking. It has happened quite often on that model Savage.

Must have been a Bad One..I'm sure it happens with all brands of Rifles..What have you got to replace it?
