Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of this custom Savage 110 rifle?

This custom Savage 110 is chambered in .25-06 Remington and features a Boyd's custom stock with a thumbhole, a 24-inch barrel with a 1:10 twist rate, and a 20 MOA base for enhanced long-range scope adjustment. It weighs approximately 11 pounds with the scope.

How does the .25-06 Remington caliber compare to the 6.5 Creedmoor?

The .25-06 Remington is noted to shoot flatter than the 6.5 Creedmoor within 800-1000 yards due to its higher velocity and lighter bullets. Beyond 1000 yards, the 6.5 Creedmoor may exhibit less drop due to its heavier bullets.

What kind of accuracy was achieved with the custom Savage 110?

The reviewer achieved a three-shot group measuring 0.75 inches center-to-center at 114 yards, confirming sub-MOA accuracy. This was achieved despite the barrel being hot from firing, suggesting potential for even tighter groups with a cold barrel.

What is the purpose of a 20 MOA base on a rifle scope?

A 20 MOA base angles the scope downwards, providing a greater range of vertical adjustment. This is crucial for long-range shooting, allowing the shooter to dial in elevation for distant targets without running out of scope adjustment.
