Thread: Rapidfire Review: Savage B Mag Target 17 WSM

Here's some groups shot from my Savage Bmag that has a regular laminate stock and heavy fluted barrel. Rifle has been bedded by previous owner.

Groups are fired from bipod with no rear bag laying prone in a paddock at 100m to better simulate "field" conditions. Groups were also fired with no time for the barrel to cool down on the 3 round Groups, so 15 rounds in approx 2 minutes. Also fired top left /right then bottom left/right with the center last, and as you can see the groups start to open up around this point.

Also I noted the group sizes did seem to shrink considerably (not pictured) after a scrub of the barrel as I had put 500 or so rounds through it, though this will require re shooting and I haven't got around to that yet!

Making 220-300 yard shots on the little 250ml home brand fizzy bottles was a breeze with 7/10 shots being first round hits(rabbit chest size?) Furthest shot was 340 but was 3rd round as I had no idea of wind value as a bunny popped up 90 degrees to where I had targets set.

Also be aware the 25gr rounds can and will pass through even hares as I managed to shoot through the lower neck/shoulders of one and it passed through killing the one sitting a meter or so behind it! First time for everything huh.

Ignore the writing as it was just me making notes to myself
