Post  ThndrChkn October 14th 2012, 8:07 pm

Friday night, I took one of my rifles apart and chucked the barrel up in my friend's lathe for some work. It started life as a Savage Model 110 Competition Model 300 Winchester Magnum, and I re-chambered it to 300 Remington Ultra Mag. The pics below are groups I shot yesterday and today from 300 yds. on some gongs I made from AR-400 plate this past spring... I built this rifle exclusively for the upcoming wolf season this year... Very Happy Very Happy

On the lathe:

Finished product, topped with a Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x40 Long Range Series rifles scope. The round in the pic is topped with a 208gr. Hornady Match bullet.

This is the group I fired yesterday. The splattered looking shot is because the gong support fell over and the plate was laying at an angle, so I took aim at the edge of the other bullet impressions and sent it downrange...

This is the group I fired today to confirm the load, and a minor scope adjustment from yesterday. 1 cold/clean bore shot, and 2 follw-up shots. Looks to be ready... The other spots to the right are 3 of 4 shots from my .22 L.R., also fired from 300 yds. Shocked

Bang for the buck Savage rifles are awesome. I own and have owned several. Im experimenting with a 110 in 204 ruger right now with handloads. My favorite is the 112fp in 25-06. I use mainly for groundhogs at ....extended ranges.

Yep! It's now official. A guy I know shot this wolf, and a coyote the same day. Check out the size differential. The coyote is about 40#, the wolf is about 160#... Shocked Shocked
