Thread: Savage model 11 lightweight hunter

In short: loved the scope. Loved the reticle, the smoothness of the zoom, the low profile (compared to my older model which is a bit chunky).

Rifle wise - I could not get it to shoot. I think this was heavily due to me. I found the length of pull longer than my other savage and being unsuppressed I started flinching and pulling. I could shoot no better than 2MOA I took a bit of footage of me shooting and the oversize length of pull left me quite 'open' if that makes sense. My master arm was over extended and neck crooked right out forward. Put me in a really weak position.

I was really heartbroken as I wanted to love it as much as my other savage! It looks shit hot in my opinion and the price is awesome. The action was beautiful and the Mag seemed a bit sturdier than my one on my.223 (Mag is plastic with a plastic clip)

Anyway sorry for the waffling... I learnt a lot from testing that gun. Wish I had one in midget size. (I don't really like any of their youth rifles). Enjoy, I'm jealous

Sounds like you need a Rem Model 7, i love the small size of them, slightly shorter LOP, shorter stock, thinner fore-end, short barrel.
