[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2509983, member: 15054"] I have a 30-30 that was my dad's i was shooting that with old ammo from the 1980's and at 100 yards i could split pencils in half stuck in the ground.and i could stand a filled water bottle up and place a cap i took off another water bottle on top of the filled one's cap and shoot it off at 100 yards. That was almost a tack driver..Had a 4X redfield scope on it that gun and scope was purchased in 1974. I had to start hand loading for it as the new store ammo all sucked in that gun.. it now shoots ok but not like it did. Used to shoot 3/4" groups all day the first one was always right on the money..and that is what counts,,First shot. I actually drove a tack with it (the 30-30) with my hand loads but it took 3 shots..Suck! Then i get these supposedly tack driver high power rifles and really not impressed with them yet... More load work and some tweaks and i may get .25" MOA then i may be happy. I guess i should be happy now as in the end i just want to put meat on the table with them, and all my guns will do that. Here is a group at 211 yards from my 30-06 including the cold bore shot.. need that cold bore to come in some..It was 37 degrees outside and the gun spent the night outside. 4 shot group 30-06.The savage .308 should by all means mop the floor with the 30-06 [ATTACH=CONFIG]38888[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
