Finelly, after all these years......

[8X56MS]

I took the Savage 170 to the range today. I put an old Weaver K4 on it temporarily.
After shooting it at 25 yards to sight in, and then 50, with good results, I moved the target out to 100 yards.
Three 5 shot groups, averaged 1 3/4 inches. One group was much smaller. I am pleased with the accuracy.
I was shooting my handloads, of 34.5 grains of IMR 4320 pushing a Hornady 170 grain FP.
I found the rifle quick to shoulder, and to have good 'pointability'.
I am sure that this will be a very good heavy cover gun, and will fit in with my lever guns as a choice for hunting along North Florida creeks, and in the swamps I love to wade through.
