Well, the rifle is a shooter, but the scope is a POS.
Shooting Hornady 55gr varmint loads the rifle is grouping between 0.5 MOA and 0.75 MOA. I'm convinced if I put a good scope on, it's a half minute rifle.....and that's amazing. DAMN YOU SAVAGE! I might be becoming a fan.
The scope has two major problems. At 18 power there is no head position anywhere near the center that gives you a good sight picture. It whites out pretty badly unless your looking at a slight downward angle into the scope, which means parallax is way of. But that's OK because it has a side parallax adjustment. Or it would be OK if the adjustment worked. That's the second problem. For zero parallax at 100 yards you have to bottom the adjustment out at infinity, so it's useless.
Would it be wrong to put a Nightforce on $240 rifle? LOL!
