RE: savage111 fcxp3
OK, I' ll give this my best shot. I haven' t used the Savage 111, but my dad had a Savage for 25-odd years and shot rings around all sorts of guys. I don' t doubt that the gun has the potential to shoot 400 yards. Also, after checking it online, it comes in a bunch of really wonderful long-range calibers - which is yours?
Wood stock? Synthetic? What are you looking for? I know when my dad cracked his wood stock on the gun, it cost almost as much as a new gun to restock it to synthetic - something about it being one of the lesser-known guns.
Quite a few companies make a good long distance scope - Leupold, Pentax, and Nikon off the top of my head make good scopes at a reasonable price. A little more about what you' re looking for would help.
1/8 steel ball? Is that a shotgun or muzzleloader term? I' m not familiar.
