I’m ready for long range

[XC700116]

That said, IMHO keep the 300 WM Savage for hunting and then go buy yourself a rifle in a smaller cartridge and a premium scope to learn on. Spend between now and next season sending a couple thousand rounds down range getting your shooting game down pat, then move that premium scope over to your savage, make sure your load is good, zero is good, and dope to distance is good, then go hunt with it. Rinse and repeat.

Your standard of accuracy for distance should be what distance you can reliably hit a 12" plate 100%, 1st round out of the gun for the day, every time. Then take that distance and subtract 100 yards.
