Carry on, life as usual.

What do you plan to take to the deer woods this year? Going smokey or modern passing fad powder?

Paul, I have a brand spanking new Savage bolt action in .308. It is one of the package deals, scope included (Bushnell which I will replace sometime soon), but no accu-trigger. Ordered it at Brandon's. I took it to the range south of Neosho and ran the least expensive stuff Wal Mart had through it. Federal 150 grain Power Shok. I will reload for the rifle but not by Sunday. Once dialed in, and off sandbags, that rifle would make 3/8 inch groups at 50 yards and 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards. I am really impressed with that level of performance from the rifle.

I have never heard a disparaging word about the Savages and one is on, well, at least one of my lists. Was thinking a 7mm-08 would be a nifty choice. Good test of platform and calibre.
