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.

colt45 · 12-02-2004, 08:59 PM

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.

colt45 · 12-03-2004, 07:49 AM

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.
