Hello friends!
Looking for some constructive input if I may...
Just acquired a Savage Model 11 in 6.5 Creed, 24" barrel, (26" if you include the factory muzzle brake) as new-old stock. accu-trigger and adjustable cheek riser. Plan on using it for semi-casual longish-range fun (Local ranges go out to about 500 yards, which be the furthest I've shot so far..)
Most all reviews I've seen are positive.
Your thoughts on...
- ?Scope? Rifle has no scope yet, my budget for an optic will be about $500-600.
- ?Muzzle brake? The factory muzzle brake - switchable - "on" or "off" - (I'm partial to Ultradyne brakes myself...) What size threads does Savage use? I've heard they're oddball, I haven't taken this brake off yet.
- ?Ammo? 'm planning on shooting 140gr HPBT Nosler, and/or Hornady ELD-M - have a bunch of new Starline large primer brass - and a little Staball 6.5. 4350 is another powder that seems quite popular...
Many thanks!
