.300 Savage

My Dad gave me the .300 Savage that I have now in 1952 so it has been around a while. There have been numerous deer and a couple of elk shot with it so I think it is a very good deer rifle. My Dad also had the same rifle several years older that he shot many deer with.

I recommend that you sight it in at 25 yards because it has almost the same impact point at 25 yards and 100 yards. The only problem with using 25 yards for sight in is that it takes 4 times as many clicks on the scope to move it a certain distance at 25 as 100 yards. Usually it takes 4 clicks to move it 1 inch at 100 yards but will take 16 clicks to move it 1 inch at 25 yards.

I also don't recommend shots at much over 200 yards. It will shoot farther but it's balistics are not the best for 300 or 400 yards shots.
