If a scope/rifle is off .5" to the right or left at 100 yards, how much will it be off at 200,300, 400 and 500. Some have told me that at it will be .5 @100, 1"@200, 1.5@300, 2"@400 and 2.5"@500. To me it seems like the numbers will double at each distance from the last. .5"...

Aftermarket Savage Actions

Has anyone here ever purchased one of the aftermarket Savage Actions that a few places offer. I saw them in a Jerrys Sports Center catalog today. The prices ranged from $329-$389 for the actions.

Was thinking about getting one, and a Barrell and stock from Shooters Supply and building my own.

Ammo for Savage 12BGTV

New here to the forums, this is a great place with a wealth of info.

I am going to purchase a Savage 12BGTV (thumbhole stock) in the very near future, which will be my first .204 owned.

My question is , what are some of the better factory ammo to try in a Savage Rifle?

thanks in advance
