Model 110 E .30-06 Good value as Starter Savage

[efw]

(yes I do know that the .308 shoots flatter, but you can still get more than enough accuracy to take a deer at 600 without changing parts.

Huh?

I'm with you stangfish.

The OP asked about switching to a .308 I was simply mentioning that with a little practice on the rifle and some good loads, you do not need to switch to a .308

I thought you were saying the 308 shoots flatter than the 30-06.

It does, but unless you are shooting competition with handloads, you probably would not even notice it.

Huh? How does an identical projectile doing 150-200 fps slower at the muzzle shoot flatter? ???

To the OP... unless you're looking at a custom, no one buys a Savage for the wood or finish... we buy 'em for the accuracy! You'll love the cartridge, too... it'll send 'em a tad faster than the 308 Win so you ought not have an issue w/ LR, either.
