Got the Savage Mark ll TR out on this freakin freezin ass day and shot a few targets:
First up : RWS R100 premium, all 5 shot groups at 50 yds, not real thrilled, except for the two groups in the lower left side.
Next up, Lapua X ACT, this stuff was $25 a box, meh so so.
Next up RWS Rifle match , 10 shot group, fired the first 5 with a very dirty bore, cleaned it up and shot the circled group in the center.
Next Eley Tennex, ugh, rifle no likey. In fairness i was getting really cold, could not feel my fingers and got in a hurry cause i wanted to leave, also shot with a very dirty bore, slight east to west breeze maybe 5 mph
Last and most impressive for what it is, Blazer bulk ammo $24/500. Clean bore the 3 flyers could be called fouling shots, 7 in the same hole(almost) after that. I weighed each round on my scale, all 10 were exactly 50.8 grains.
I like a rifle that will shoot cheap ammo this well.
Still have a lot of testing to do with other ammo when it's not so fucking cold. Yea i know 35* isn't cold to most of you, but i'm a desert rat who puts on a coat when it drops below 70
50 yards isn't really a good test IMHO and my goal was to test each type of ammo at 50 &100 yds but you know, FUCKING BRRRR
Overall, i like this rifle and it's worth what i paid for it. Has a nice solid feel when operating the bolt, mags lock in tight.
Watch out bunny wabbits, i'm comin for ya.
