I bought the savage 111 trophy XP in 300 winmag about 2008--it had the crappy weaver scope and regular trigger--the older model before they started packaging it with the accutrigger and Nikon scope. Still the original sporter barrel--it's shown no signs of burning out yet. After fixing the bedding and trigger issue I got this at 240 yds using 82 grs of magnum and 180 vlds. In the spirit of full disclosure and own up to my spazdom--one shot I pulled the rifle clean off the rear bag and didn't even hit the target.



(sorry about the mis-named file--I did use magnum)
