Wow, that's awesome. Nice job on the pig as well.
How do those hogs taste? I've always wondered about it. I'm anxious to get the 223. I have another 223 which I used to use in F class matches. Weights a ton. Appreciate your information and the great pictures..johnny
Ruger advertises the American Ranch as being 5.56. Is there some reason that you know of not to shoot the ammo they recommend? https://ruger.com/products/americanRifleRanch/specSheets/26965.htmlFor $200 more, you can get the American ranch from Ruger that takes 556. I went with the predator because it has a 22 inch barrel instead of the 16 inch barrel on the ranch although I am seriously considering getting one in 450. Also, I had a ton of 223 ammo. Just have to be careful not to accidentally load 556.
The American predator is what I was recommending and is 223, the American ranch is a different rifle and shoots 556 and 223. I was just including it in case he was interested in 556. My wording was probably not as clear as it could have been.Ruger advertises the American Ranch as being 5.56.

Yeah I know. I had a 110E years ago. Darn good shooting rifle. Won several marine core. Matches with it. That was also 223..I miss my old Savage 110T, although it was a touch boring at the range, what with generally making touching holes on paper where aimed.
What I really want is a Ruger no.1 . I love those rifles,but I have to win the lottery firstThis is redundant now that you have already bought a rifle but concerning single shots, Houseofarms is now shipping the new Contender action so build your own. Wait time would be a limiting factor though. My first 223 rifle was a contender with a 23" bull barrel. Short and not all that heavy. With my handloads and when the stars align it will shoot 3 shot groups into less than .3" at 100 yards. Then you have to allow for bullet climb or let it cool off. Not a problem for coyote hunting though.
Savage used to make the Stevens 200 short action in 223 and I bought one for my oldest grandson to shoot. With my hand loads it was a 3/4 MOA rifle and got him a few coyotes and prairiedogs. Savage discontinued it for a time and then brought it back. I don't know if it is still available or not but I wouldn't trade one for two axis.
What is that plate made of??!!These are 300 yard 5 shot groups from a savage 112 that was $299 after rebate from cabelas.

I have an Axis II in 6.5 CM that will shoot 1/2 MOA with hand loads. Great value guns. Congrats!For $359, I don't know how one could go wrong- Savage Axis XP Bolt-Action Rifle
I bought one a couple of years ago and have been very pleased with it.
These groups were shot during the fire-lapping process.

Don't blame you at all. I bought a slightly used one in 22-250 back in the '70' for $165 which included a cheap japanese scope and sling. I replaced the scope with a Leupold and chunked the sling. It has out done my contender with my handloads slightly but has exactly the same problem. Groups start climbing with the fourth shot. It is not nearly as easy to carry around as it is much longer and heavier but it will reach out and touch a prairiedog so far away it was hard to see with the naked eye. Well, after I had to start wearing bifocals they were, not so much before though.What I really want is a Ruger no.1 . I love those rifles,but I have to win the lottery first
My question too. Doesn`t look like your ( or at least at my range ) typical steel target.What is that plate made of??!!
... I don't believe comes in 223 Rem. (Correction: it apparently does -- just not at Cabelas )Ruger American predator
Yep, that looks like my target gongs. With my .223, I find that the 4"er gets kinda small at 500 yards!
Except a few models still use two digit identifiers for short action like the 12 Low profile varmint etc. Savage tinkers and changes to no end and to no avail. They had a great rifle years ago and should have left it alone.Actually just went and looked myself because I knew where it was. Model Designation since 2018 have all been 110 for both long and short.
Yes it does! I can hit it 5 out of 5 if the wind isn’t blowing much and I’m on my game. If not, it’s very elusive!Yep, that looks like my target gongs. With my .223, I find that the 4"er gets kinda small at 500 yards!
