New Model 11, 260 Remington on the way
As the title said, I ordered a new Model 11 in 260 Remington today and it has already shipped. Hopefully I'll have it in a few days. I have have Remington and AR style rifles but this is my first Savage. The different Savage Models were a little confusing but the Model 11 was chambered in 260 Rem so I decided to give it a try.
I already load 4 or 5 different rifle calibers and several pistol calibers but the 260 will be a new one for me. It should be a lot of fun coming up with good loads for deer and critters.
If anyone can share a little more Model 11 info and what I can expect I'd appreciate it.

I’m sure you know and have read but this is my two cent.
With a stock savage rifle from factory.
Bed the front of the action and recoil lug.
Make sure barrel is floated a liberal amount away from stock.
Tighten the front action screw to 60# and the rear to 25# after the lug is bedded.
Barrel needs to be shot 200+ times to settle a lot of the time.
Or scrub with a compound and a brush.
The aiming reticle has to be sub .5 moa to shoot sub moa, at least for me.
I like to shim the slop from the trigger and get it to sub 2#
It should shoot after this.
