Hello guys. I was in the market for a long range bolt gun in 308 and was able to pick up this guy yesterday. The gun is a Savage BVSS Target/Varmint and came with a Leupold VX3 LR with a Varmint reticle. I took that scope off since that reticle does not match up to 308 and added the Leupold MKIV 3-10 M3 LRT. I’m going to mount the other Leupold on my Savage 22-250.

The gun is a shooter. The first 5 shots using 168gr SMK in Lapua brass with 44gr Varget was about .5”. I just decided to make it a 10 shot group and shot just a tad over 1”.

The gun is heavy and begging to be shot out to 850. I’ll post results when it happens,

Looks like she's a shooter, and good looking too!

Nice pickup. Curious to see how it does at longer distances.

Ho, hum: Another good-shooting Savage.
Shot by a good shooter.

Keep us posted on how it performs at distance.

Looks like it works!

I’m not that great of a shooter. I would say an above average shooter for sure. I am however meticulous in my reloading and strive for good accuracy. That is the 24 years of military coming out…lol.

Very nice. My first rifle was a mid 70’s Model 70 in 308. It took many years, over 15, to try anything else for deer hunting in MI.

Great shooting.

Very nice looking rifle and some fine shooting.

Looking good! Savages are underrated.

Tony.
