Shooting my Savage Model 11 308 and Verifying my Nikon BDC Scope

With my bear hunt only few days away I needed to verify my Savage Model 11 .308 with Nikon BDC scope was hitting where the Nikon Spot on Website was saying it should be hitting using the Nosler Trophy Grade Accubond ammunition that I planned to use on my hunt.

  1. What does your 25 or 100 yard zero look like? That could help to provide some explanation as to your shot groups here. You might be happy with your groups for a man size target, but if you are hunting an animal with those groups then you are going to quite possibly wound a lot of them and not recover them, and that would be a shame.

  2. I'm not sure of the ammunition you are using in this video but it could be that the ammunition and the rifle just don't mesh well. But I do like the fact that you recognize the fact that you need a little more practice. If I was you I would buy some premium ammunition and give it a try. Sometimes the more budget type ammo isn't very consistent especially at further distances. Great video.

  3. You got some work to do. Practic practice and find a bullet that your rifle likes. With that grouping I wouldn't be taking it hunting. Then again I'm picky and want my rifle hitting 1 litre bottles at 500 yards.

  4. Buddy, you canted your rifle probably to one side and when you changed positon you canted it the other way. canting causes right and left in your groups. Good shooting from Switzerland.

  5. Good bow hunters make outstanding rifle hunters !
    your doing just fine !
    300 yards is a long shot
    especially for bear .
    We always want be sure and make a clean kill on dangerous game
    We sure don't want wounded bears looking for easy prey = people
    Thanks for sharing your experience !

  6. Enjoyed the video it does sound like wind might be an issue, & I felt you were somewhat off in your prone position. I think if you keep shooting & try different ammo's you'll put 3 shots into an inch or so regularly. Try watching some video's on shooting technique's. That's how I learned & it has worked well for me. plenty of good advice also posted by other viewer's . Good luck

  7. you need more range time and an instructor to assist with corrections. every flaw you have will show more with range. a rifle stock fitted for you is something most overlook. especially if you don't fit in the "normal average man" stature.

  8. I own 3 Mdl 11's.  >308 Winchester, 22-250 Remington & a .223 Remington.. All of them will shoot hole in holes out to 400 yards.  I'm thinking You might benefit muchly from spending some time at an actual Gun Range with known yardages and solid benches so you can develop the basics of proper shooting techniques.  I noticed in the first part of the video you are not securing the rifle when you squeeze the trigger causing the muzzle to jump.  This ain't Hollywood kiddo.  Being accurate with a high powered rifle takes time, experience, patience and attention to the details…
