[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2850571, member: 13337"] Last year I had a bit of money to burn,,, So I bought a Savage Mk-IIF bolt rifle from Wal Mart. This is the one for $147.95,,, It [U]does not[/U] have the Savage Acu-Trigger. I test fired it with the iron sights one time,,, Then I put it in the safe to gather dust. I decided to scope it so I bought a $34.95 scope from Academy,,, All in all with scope, rings, mounts, and rifle,,, My total investment was just $200.80. Two weeks ago I tried to sight the scope,,, But I wasn't sure if I got it right,,, It was a very breezy day. This past Saturday was beautiful shooting weather,,, So I took the Savage and some American Eagle 36 gr HV HP to my range. I guess I did a better job sighting the scope than I had thought,,, Using a cheap plastic front rest and a rolled up jacket,,, I put every shot either touching or in a 1" dot. That was at 50 yards distance,,, So I moved over to the 100 yard range,,, Almost every shot was touching or in the 2" circle. I hit 15 clay pigeons in a row. Now I know you guys will say "so what.",,, That's not precision shooting at all,,, In fact it's just so-so shooting. Well, I'm 64 with old eyes and shaky hands,,, Maybe a steadier shooter could have done 1 MOA with this rifle. All I'm saying is this,,, For a mere $208.80 plus sales tax,,, I have a 3x9 scoped rifle that is easy to hit with. So if you were looking for an economical starter rifle,,, This is a gun you might want to look at. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
