Infidel 762 Moderator Registered: 04/04/14 Posts: 7276 Loc: Okie	Originally Posted By: hm1996 Thanks, Jeremy. When I had to retire my 243WSSM AR for coyotes, I wanted a short bolt gun and first thing I picked up was a Savage Scout in .308. Looking at ballistics, the 110 gr. bullets approached velocities of the 87 gr. 243 Win, so tried to work up load but the Scout didn't like 110 gr. Varmageddons so tried 125 gr. NBT's and got around MOA groups using 46 gr. H4895 (cronographed 2910 fps). Altered stock but still didn't fit well. Picked up a .308 BAR and it doesn't like most loads I tried, but did get close to MOA w/110 gr. Varmageddons, 47.9 gr. H4895 @ 3130 (book velocity, my cronograph gave up the ghost). The 110 hammered the few coyotes I've shot recently. Gotta love your videos, keep 'em coming! Regards, Clarence my biggest issue with the 308 is it not shooting as flat as the 22-250 im used to shooting and then there is the trying to judge distance at night learning curve. i have been ranging some after the shot and out beyond 250 with the 308 I am missing. i have greater confidence with the 250 at ranges beyond that.

When I was getting out 3x week, I was comfortable to 250 (daytime) w/the 223; missed a coyote @ about that range with the BAR, but it was a hurried shot. I'm thinking 200 is about as far as I'd take the shot w/.308 since I haven't been out in a while.

I have heard people say negative things about savage. theirs have been my go to hunting rifles in my time of hunting and i have killed decent numbers with them. i have only had one savage i did not like and that was the MSR 10, that thing would not group better than a couple inches so i sold it. that and this last one i bought new where the bolt locked shut and i had to send it back.
