Savage 11/111 Lightweight Hunter

4B-Savage-11-111-Lightweight-Hunter This wood-stocked bolt action is just one of many hunting rifles offered from Savage, but we like it because of the 5.5 — 6 pounds it weighs. Not to mention it comprises the standard Savage features, such as the AccuTrigger, which gives shooters the flexibility to set trigger pull to their preference. The steel barrel is straightened by hand and is button-rifled for consistent accuracy and rates of twist. It also features a floating bolt head that allows for a minute amount of float that allows for 100 percent engagement of both lugs to occur. The rifle is available in eight chamberings.

Shooting 600 Yards with .300 Blackout

The .300 Blackout cartridge was developed to provide greater effectiveness than a 9mm at short and medium ranges when fired from a short-barreled suppressed firearm. Just because the cartridge wasn't designed to go long doesn't mean Rifles & Optics Editor Tom Beckstrand won't take it there, using a large-format pistol, no less. Armed with SIG Sauer's 9-inch-barreled MCX Virtus Pistol loaded with Black Hills' 125-grain TMK ammunition, Beckstrand attempts to ring steel at 600 yards with help from Hornady's 4DOF ballistic calculator in this segment of “Long Range Tech.”
