Finally got my "new" Savage out to the range. Weather was a comfortable 82 degrees with 0 wind. Only ranges close to me have a max distance of 100 yds. Shot 3 shots at 25yds, then headed over to the 100yd line. Setup: Savage 12 Long Range Precision 6.5 Creedmoor Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 MIL/MIL Harris BR Bipod Rear Bag Trigger pull weight is set at about 1.25 lbs. Shooting factory Hornady 120gr and 140gr AMAX.    120 AMAX  140 AMAX  I did not do as well with the 140's as I did with the 120's, but I know the rifle is capable of better accuracy than I shot. Next up will be to try to stretch her legs a little and do some shooting at longer distances. The rifle functioned flawlessly and was a joy to shoot. Very little recoil thanks to the heavy weight of the rifle. Overall, i'm pleased with the first outing.

I would expect it to tighten up some after you get it broken in.
for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Thanks littlettam!
Bullfrog, you ain't lyin'! I was amazed at how well this rifle shoots. I know I'm not shooting it to its potential...
Will be handloading for it, soon as I get off my lazy butt and get some bullets, so I'm hoping I can get even better performance out of it...
