I won a Savage 30-06 with a Bushnell 3x9 scope at an Elks Club raffle once. Long time ago back in Michigan at college. Out of the box, that cheap Savage was the most accurate little son of gun around. Crazy accurate - hot or cold. Especially for a $350 rifle with scope included (in 1995 dollars). It was HELL on those Michigan Whitetails for 3 seasons. Farm permit = 50 deer. 2,3,4,5 deer a day....whatever. Toss another in the back of the truck and let's go get breakfast. I personally fed many people during college - there was always more than enough to go around.

That little sniper Savage was a beast. Traded it off for a much nicer .280 Ackley Elk stick once I moved back to CO. Poked a dandy 5x5 with that Ackley, so it's all good. I honestly don't know where that Ackley is now. It's somewhere back in CO. Sister probably has it in a closet. Whatever.
