Scope is a ziess conquest 46mm 4x10.its definitly not the scope.ive usedca gun rest to sight in so its not me shooting either.this gun will not shoot any ballistic 150 gr wich pisses me off.there 4 to 10 inches all over the place.it seems to shoot the 180 gr winchester silvertips and the barnes ttx the best.my other savage I got from walmart is the same.only will shoot 180 gr.now my brothers cheap axis will shoot em all in the same hole all day.shoots the 150 gr hornady sst like no ones business.
I ask because I have a powerline that runs thru my lease.some big cutovers and ive ranged the shots to the end of the food plots to 330 yards from the shoot house.i may go with the 308 or 270.just done with the 30 06

Shot a browning BLR 7 mag for a few years when I hunted in Missouri, never noticed the recoil when shooting a deer, but just throwing a few at the targets that thing would rattle my teeth. Shot my buddies rem 700 in 7mag and it was a pleasure to shoot. Killed deer with both guns but was just to mean on the deer for me, so I went back to my 308 tack driving savage heavy barrel tactical rifle. Just don't need them big guns. 308 will kill them just as dead from 100-400 as a 7mag or 30'06.

I'm thinking the same way marsh. I have been shooting a Steyr 7mm mag for the past fifteen years. Going to a 308 this year because I'm tired of that mule of a rifle. Its heavy, long and will kick the living chit out of you.
