New Savage on it's way

Post by lowndsie »

I just couldn't help myself. I just brought a Model 12BTCSS in 22-250. And I couldn't refuse a VX3L 6-20x56 to mount to it. Will be a while before I get a chance to shoot it... but I'm looking forward to seeing how it shoots. It's my first Savage!! :D

Whats the difference between a BTCSS say and a VLP? Should be a shooter

Brother showed me his last group out of his VLP 22-250 last night, 8 shots into .9 outside to outside. I think 7 of them were closer to .4/5 at 200meters. Very impressive as its had no other work done to it.

Lowndsie, I'm sure you won't be disappointed, they shoot small groups though do suffer a bit more copper fouling than some of the top grade benchrest barrels.

Try some hand made benchrest bullets made with J4 jackets. These foul a lot less which will help the 22-250 go longer between cleans. A lot of the 22-250 buffs won't shoot anything else. What's the extra $5 cost when the benefits are very measurable in a good rifle.
