The Savage 110 Apex Storm in 6.5 Creedmoor arrived for Test and Evaluation just as you see it above with the Vortex Crossfire II Scope, and Picatinny rail mounted and bore sighted right out-of-the-box. It is a very smart looking stainless barrel with button-rifling and adjustable synthetic stock. It weighed in at 7 lb 7 oz. with my Lyman scale. The AccuTrigger breaks at 3 lb 8 oz. Nice for a hunting rifle! The bolt assembly below is jeweled and has a knurled bolt for a good grip.

The bolt lugs are state of the art. The action is very smooth! It has a detachable metal and synthetic clip that makes an audible click when it is inserted. The Stainless Barrel has a non-reflective mat surface so you don’t spook game.

 

These are things that you would find in a more expensive rifle.

Savage says:

“The platform provides accuracy and adjustability like no other package rifle thanks to the Savage® AccuTrigger™, thread-in heasdpacing, floating bolt head and button-rifled stainless steel barrel. Plus, its length-of-pull can be easily adjusted to fit any hunter for better comfort and consistency. ”

Out-of-the Box first 100 yard 3 shot group with Nosler’s 140 grain AccuBond is a solid 1 inch.

FEATURES

  • Redesigned Model 110 rifle
  • Stainless steel button-rifled barrel
  • 3-9x40mm Vortex Crossfire II scope, mounted and bore-sighted
  • Dead-Hold BDC reticle’s hashmark design reduces guesswork on holdover and windage
  • Vortex Hunter medium rings and one-piece EGW 0 MOA rail
  • User-adjustable AccuTrigger
  • Adjustable length-of-pull
  • Modern ergonomics
  • Detachable box magazine

The MSRP is just $749.  Wow!

I give this Out-of-the-Box Test an A+

This is a fine rifle/scope combination that anyone would be thrilled to own and is a great value!

Get one now before they are gone!

 

Savage Model A22 in 22LR -Out-of-the-Box with CCI Velocitor’s

Posted on by

The A22  comes in 22 magnum and 22LR. We are testing the 22LR with CCI Velocitors with a 40 grain hollow point.

https://www.savagearms.com/content?p=firearms&a=product_summary&s=47200

The Savage A22 appears to be a well made basic Semi-Auto production rifle. Out of the Box I added a 3×9 Scope to test it. Weaver bases were pre-installed. Scope bases are picatinny type thus making scope swaps easy from one rifle to another these days. The barrel is pictured with a front sight. Mine had no front sight as it  was intended for scope only.  The price of $284 dollars is terrific for the features provided. The only feature that was lacking in my mind was the adjustable accu-trigger. I could not get it to adjust lower than 3 lb 10 oz. from the original 5 pounds it came with but performed crisply.

I am very impressed with the A22 as it shoots CCI Velocitor ammo at around 1400 fps and with great ease and accuracy. Wow!

The A22 with CCI Velocitors – Good for Coyote? I think so as there are several video’s that can attest.

The Savage A22 At the Range

Specifications                                    Accuracy at 50 yards/w CCI Velocitor
MSRP – $284.00                                  Group 1   1 1/4 inches
Action – Semi Auto                             Group 2   2.0   inches (probably me)
Barrel – Color Blued                           Group 3   1 1/8 inches
Barrel Finish – High Luster
Barrel Length (in)/(mm) – 22 / 558.80
Barrel Material – Carbon Steel
Caliber – 22 LR
Magazine Capacity – 10
Magazine Rotary
LOP 13 3/4
Overall Length (in)/(mm) 41 / 1,041.40
Rate of Twist (in) 1 in 16
Receiver Color Blued
Receiver Finish High Luster
Receiver Material Carbon Steel
Type Rimfire
Stock Color Black
Stock Finish Matte
Stock Material Synthetic with Swivel Mount studs
Stock Type Sporter
Weight (lb)/(kg) 5.6 / 2.54
The Synthetic 10 round rotary magazine worked very well once you get the hang of loading a few.
Again, the Savage A22  performed flawlessly with such a powerful round as the Velocitor and with great accuracy at an affordable price. The longer barrel holds bullet velocity and energy at longer ranges.
More testing with other bullet brands and at longer ranges soon.
Good Shooting!

10mm S&W Revolver for Whitetails

Posted on by

The recent addition of the S&W 610 Revolver in 10mm Auto begs the question. Could the 10mm be your next deer gun? Well, if you like to get close to game like bow hunters do, then yes say a host of successful hand-gunners. It is a well respected pistol hunting cartridge with a 200 or 220 grain bullet and kept within 30 or so yards, they say it does a fine job and does not recoil as heavy as the 41 or 44 Magnum, 45 Long Colt. And it has more energy and penetration than the 45ACP. We want full penetration for blood trailing purposes.

A 180 to 220 grain cast solid will penetrate very well say many handgunners. I am not per se a handgun hunter but may give it a go. Buffalo Bore makes a 220 cast flat point and cartridge for the 10mm Auto for hunting

Use a rest such as a bog-pod to steady your shot.

Gel tests are helpful. Here we compare the 10mm to the .357 Magnum

Fun Fun Fun!

Good Shooting!
