My buddy and I both purchased the Savage 10 BA LE in .308 from Bud's. As always both rifles arrived in a few days. I equipped mine with a NightForce scope and his with a Leopold. After some rough bore sighting and a few adjustments (about 10 rounds) we were both able to hit an 8 inch steel plate at 600 yards pretty much every other shot. This was both of ours first experience with any type of long range shooting beyond 200 yards so we were both impressed. I later took mine to an indoor 100 yard range, Without the wind and after making a few adjustments I was able to hit dead center bullseye with all 4 holes touching and 1 about .5 inches off (I pulled that one). I consistently use 175 grain BTHP ammo to achieve this. I have fired around 80 rounds so far and this rifle is a blast. Now I'm studying up on fine tuning the scope settings for various ranges and doping the wind. The NightForce scope was a bit pricey but this rifle deserves and utilizes every dime. Great rifle and great dealing with Buds. This is my second long gun purchase from them (these 2 and a Smith and Wesson AR). All rifles have been competitively price, arrived quickly and in pristine condition. Great rifles, great company.
