Ive taken the Precision Rifle class at the SIG Academy and one of the things we got a crack at was launching. Lapua ammo. In that case it came from a Blaser rifle. That was a beautiful gun, but it comes with a beautiful price tag north of 3,0. A little Internet searching showed that if you want to shoot in that big boy caliber, thats pretty much the going rate. So you can imagine my surprise then when I got an email from Davidsons the Gun Genie people, advertising a sale on the Savage 1. LRH. Turns out I could pick one up from my neighborhood gun store for a price just shy of grand. I had looked at some of Savages rifles before because the head instructor at the SIG Academy, Scott Kennison had mentioned more than once that Savage is a good choice if you want a great gun at a great price. In fact, lots of companies SIG included buy barrels from Savage because they make really good stuff. One thing that tended to turn me off of other Savage rifles was that most of them were rather low capacity guns with internal magazines that held only four rounds or less. I like rifles with detachable magazines and not many of the Savage guns I looked at had them. The 1. 11 LRH, though, is offered in a number of calibers, and the. I wanted on my prospective. Alberta Counseling Programs more. My justification for buying it was that I didnt own a true hunting rifle. Sure, I have a couple of. Sig 7. 16 and an M1. A. Neither of them are really great hunting guns although, Im sure that there are folks who will argue that point. Now, the chances of me actually doing any real hunting is pretty slim.

Lapua round is more than capable of taking down anything I could possibly want to shoot. Then again, a 2. 6 barrel is a little long for moving through the underbrush. And lets face it, youd better damn well hit what you aim at because a. Lapua stays supersonic out past 1,6. One of the things that I quickly noticed about the 1. Big Buck Hunter Pro User Manual' title='Big Buck Hunter Pro User Manual' />This happened to me on a number of occasions until I learned to make sure that I pulled the bolt all the way back each time. Once I got used to the sounds the rifle made, it was easy to tell whether or not I had actually chambered a round or not. Having now fired more than 1. Confession it was with some trepidation that I pulled that trigger for the first time. Conventional wisdom says the.

I knew the. 3. 38 Lapua would be one mean kicking son of a bitch. But Savage has apparently done its homework and the combination of the padded butt stock and muzzle brake really tames things. Felt recoil was less than my original Remington. Win Mag SPS. Its also softer shooting than my Mossy 9. OO buckshot. The only time it really hurt was when I didnt have the rifle tucked firmly into my shoulder pocket. That, as they say, is a self correcting problem. Ive had several shooting sessions where I dumped about 4. I felt was a slight tenderness to my lower jaw where it rested on the hard plastic adjustable comb. The 1. 11. LRH has a 1 9 twist rate, as opposed to many higher end. The upshot of the faster twist is that the 1. LRH can handle the longer 3. I reload my own ammo and 3. But if you plan to use factory ammo, you may find it hard to find any real bargains in the 3. Which brings us to price. No one is going to claim that shooting a. Lapua is cheap. Its not unusual to pay as much as 6 8 per round for high end ammo. While you can find some deals out there Cheaper than Dirt has Sellier Bellot ammo with the Sierra Match. King 2. 50 grain HPBT bullet for 2. Accuracy. I was pretty enthusiastic about the 1. During an early session, I took a few shots at 8. Lapua ammunition. I was using a friends Leupold Mk 4 scope as the one that I had brought with me the Primary Arms 4 1. Mil Dot Scope that Foghorn was so fond of proceeded to shit itself after about 1. Lesson learned what works great on an AR might not be so good on a. Anyway, while shooting at the 8. I managed to put three rounds within four inches of each other, which translates to 12 MOA. By the way, Im running a 1. X Bushnell Elite scope on the gun now and it seems to work just great, thank you. Unfortunately, I havent managed to repeat that feat at the 1. That said, I was using hand loaded ammo with both 2. Berger Tactical Target bullets. Ive tried two different powders  H4. SC and IMR 4. 35. In that first session, I didnt have Bergers recipes, so I used the Sierra reloading manual and chose powder weights that I would have used had I been shooting 2. Grain and 3. 00 Grain Sierra Matchking HPBT bullets. These were close, but not perfect and while none of my experiments were great, it initially seemed that the 2. Lately, though, Ive been using recipes from Berger and theyve proved much more effective. Loading for the maximum speed, I sent about eight 3. In a perfect world, wed just throw out the five rounds in the white, call this a three round group and agree that we have a sub MOA rifle. In the real world, however, we can say that this is a pretty decent rifle and in the hands of someone more proficient than I, it could be a decent competitor. Its not going to win any national matches, but then again, for under 1,0. You really dont appreciate the power of the. Lapua until you fire one. I wasnt allowed to shoot the steel targets at 1. Even at 3. 00 yards, every steel target I hit fell over and each one had a chunk taken out of it. Build. The 1. 11. LRH features Savages Accu Trigger and Accu Stock. The Accu trigger is a true adjustable trigger with a user selectable pull weight range of 1. Many gun makers stay away from adjustable triggers fearing lawsuits that could result should a gun with a light trigger be dropped resulting in an accidental discharge. Savage addresses this problem by including an insert in the trigger that must be depressed for the sear to properly engage think Glocks Safe Action trigger. You need to remove the barreled action from the stock to adjust the trigger pull weight. But once removed, the adjustment is simple, provided you havent lost Savages special adjustment tool pictured below with the yellow handle. Not sure why Savage didnt just go with the standard allen key for this adjustment, but it may have something to do with the overunder travel mechanism that keeps you from going outside the 1. The Savage Accu Stock is essentially a standard composite stock with aluminum rails reinforcingbedding the action. Savages marketing speak to the contrary, its clear that this is not the equivalent of a custom bedding job. But it certainly is an improvement on a plain composite stock and may mean that you wont be in as big a hurry to swap it out. While Savage claims that their Accu Stocks have true floating barrels, a quick dollar bill test on my rifle showed that the stock does indeed contact the barrel at the end. This however, was quickly cleaned up with the judicious application of a Dremel tool. After ten minutes of work, the barrel is now truly free floating. Issues. Besides that not so freefloating barrel, there are a couple of other nits to pick. First, the rifle was hell to get sighted in. Even with a very nice Leupold scope mounted, the zero kept wandering. Fortunately, Scott Kennison was on hand during this exercise and quickly figured out that the problem was a loose scope rail.
