I don't know what model to get.

Sixgun_Redneck · 12-01-2004, 07:11 PM

I've narrowed down my list of possible buys, but am stuck on what bst suites me and my kind of shooting. The guns i've got it narrowed down to are:

- Model 16FLSS
- Model 11FL
- Model 112FLVSS
*All will be chambered for the .22-250

I will mostly be shooting gophers out as far as i am capable. i will also be doing some coyote hunting. I want something that is suitable for this and isn't cumbersum to manuever in and out of a truck, hide, brush etc.....

Any opions are welcome.

thx

Gun Tests recommends the 12 BVSS VARMINT .22-250 @ $696 as the best buy

ya, it'll have an accutrigger. i wouldn't get a savage if it didn't.

i have a tactical in 223 without the accutriger, my dad has one with it. i had my triger worked and they both shoot ragged holes at 100 and 200 yards. then a 1" at 300.
any one of them would be a good buy. i would go with the 12bvss if i had to do it again. or the tactical in 308.

OPINION/???? If you have a 1" at 300 223, why would you want a 22-250 and to boot a savage. There are so many better actions out there. I have a Hart barreled Sako all custom with a 3-oz trigger and It would be hell to hold 1" at 300. It will if fact pick the flee off and ants balls at a 100. True this is a custom rifle but If this was so good why doesn't the police or the feds use them.

our swat teams for the city and the county do use the savage tactical. a few guys have custom guns but all the dept owned ones are savages.
and i don't want a 22-250 to loud for where i shoot, i was just adding my opion.
i am a big fan of the 308 though so if i had to get another one it would be in 308.
my sako actioned browning 243 will do a 1 1/2 group with hand loads at 300. but its way to nice to drag around in the brush and lay on the ground with. so it stays home safe and sound. ( was dads first rifle ) it doesn't get much use any more and when it does i even put a blanket over the shooting bags on the bench.
one of the smoothes actions i have ever had, i agree the action on ny savage is rough, but i have a shot block in it and shoot it single shot. one of teh smoothest actions i have seen lately is on a tika whit tail not the new "junked out " T3. theses are realy smooth. still looking for one in 308. hard to come by now. the new T3 is one standard length with a block in the mag for the shorter actions. i for one think that this cheapened the rifle and "junked it out" for me.
i'm taking it you dought that my tactical will do a 1" group at 300. well, i'm shooting a hand loaded 69 grn match king bullet at 2830 fps with a 24.5 grn compressed load of IMR 4895. my triger has been worked to a 1 pound pull. and my action has been beded.
i'm useing a buris 4x16 scope and these shots are made from a soild bench with both front and rear bags. and yes i only try these shots when the wind is down and the weather is good. its not like its an every time deal. but i have used this load to shoot chucks at over 600 yards from a solid rest (the portable bench in the back of the pick-up) with bags.
i would say if you have a hart bbl and a sako action with a 3 oz. triger you need to try different loads if it won't hold a 1" at 300. that gun should do it with no problem.

One thing all of you are missing. If you look the guns i chose are in Left-Hand config. Thats why my options are so limited.

G Hollingsworth · 12-04-2004, 06:49 AM

C45...I never said I was the best shot in the world. I am in fact a true believer that if I miss its my falt. I would guess that my rifle would out shoot me anyday. Also 22-250 is NOT the best cal for target work,in fact no one uses it and if they do they loose. My load Is 38 gr of 4895 with a 53 seria HP And 8 out of ten are in one hole. Myself at 300 yds there is too many things working aganst a 1 in groop. mostly me.

been there before thats the way i am with my 30-06 the gun will shoot far better than i can with it. for some reason that gun is just hard for me to keep steady. never missed a deer yet with it though.
