Stick with the .300 WSM. Mark Boardman at Vortex Nation Podcast unalived many a critter including black bear with his Browning A-Bolt (no brake) in .300 WSM. You could use yours to take any game. Of course, 7 PRC will reach farther but that is not always a necessity.
I bought one of these rifles a year or so ago in .308 and it is a tack driver. Despite being underrated, Savage is doing great things. You don't have to be rich to be blessed with Goodies!
I ordered one in 308 after watching both your videos. I have a one piece rail coming and another Arken to top it off. I hope mine groups as good as yours. Thanks for what you do sir.
🇺🇸👍. Savage rifles have always been outstanding. They are rarely mentioned when folks talk about old rifles. It’s good to see these newer low end (on price only) rifles are getting the respect they deserve. I have a Savage 99 in 300 Sav. They are an outstanding lever action that are totally unique in design. Their only drawback is that they are kinda bulky which doesn’t work well in a scabbard. The last rifle I bought was over a year ago and is a Savage MSR 10 . It is my AR10 and is super accurate very well built rifle. Great job on building up your channel and may good blessings you and your family.🇺🇸👍
@@antheaZ1811 just curious which one did you have a problem with? And two if you don’t mind what was the problem? My experiences are with the Savage AR10 which isn’t classified as a ar. I still don’t know how they did that and the Savage 99 which is a 1950s model.
@@Boomhower89 last one was a brand new 93R17 FV-SR 22 that wouldn’t extract and their solution was to double the springs. The old stuff seems to be good to me though.
Agreed I have a 90s model savage 111 chambered in 7mag that thing is flawless I also have an 80s savage 110 in 30-06 also a tac driver I have a savage axis 308 that I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with I've done all kinds of stuff to it I had the barrel recrowed and seems to of helped but truthfully i still dont trust it
I’ve been a big fan of Savage since 1982. I have an assortment of savage rifles. I have models 10, 110s, 111’s, 112s and 116. The model tens were the short actions in the 110s were for the long actions. I have Savage .410 shotgun that dates to the early 1940s. I watched your accuracy tests of the 110 trail Hunter and was so moved that I bought one. I also bought a 20MOA rail for my Trail Hunter. I’m looking forward to sighting it in after the thaw. When I’m looking for a new rifle I look at Savage first. Your content is always appreciated and enjoyed.
Great choice who-tee-who. I love our savage 110 Trail Hunter rifles in 6.5-PRC & 7mm08 & 7mm Rem mag . I had to put a 25in barrel on the 7mm08 . 22in barrel was way too short for me. We were so impressed with the 110 Trail-Hunter my dad, and I bought 4 of them in 300-WSM . We kept two in 300-WSM and converted the other two to 270-WSM improved with a 40°sholder 26in 9 twist barrels . Some of the best accurate budget rifles and budget builds for the money. All topped with Leopold and Arken optics. Seams, we are always improving rifles or the cartridges in some way. From adding longer heavier barrels or changing the chassis to improving the cartridges or all the above. Rifles & cartridges are like car's their's always something you can do to make them better more efficient and faster. Thanks for sharing who-tee-who. God bless you and your family.God bless America 🇺🇸🇨🇱 🇺🇲🇨🇱🇺🇲🇨🇱🇺🇲🇨🇱.
I have the 110 VSX HUNTER XP from Bass Pro Shops in .243. It has a threaded and fluted 24" barrel. The fact that it was a 24" barrel is one of the reasons that I got it. I also have an TrueTimber Strata Axis XP in .308 with a standard non threaded 22" barrel and both of them shoot lights out.
The VSX Hunter rifles are one of the few that actually used a 24" barrel for the 243. Being an overbore cartridge, it needs all the barrel length it can get for it's maximum potential, which is far better than folks give it credit for imo. It's a great cartridge from coyotes up to elk given the right bullet is used.
I still say that you should take that S110 Trailhunter in 300 WSM. As a current 300 WSM owner that would be cool to see. I knew the cartridge of the rifle that you got, you recently mentioned it. Should be a good one. I am glad that they finally offer these in left hand.
It is amazing how well "budget" rifles shoot. Thank you for highlighting this and other great affordable products. Props to the Remington ammo as well.
I am considering getting a new 243 also. I was looking at the Henry Long Ranger. It is a lever action but uses a removable magazine instead of the under barrel tube. They make them in several calibers. I've never owned a Henry.
I know we all have our rathers which is totally fine... but i love the two piece bases. Those look like they are made by Warn. They are very strong and work really well. As stated..we all like what we like. I enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing another. Thanks!
Sylvester the cat says Thhavage! Got one similar with the heavy fluted 24" barrel and oversized bolt model 10 predator in 6.5cm also I installed the bolt lift reducer shims on the axis's helps the cycling process for young shooters and quicker follow ups only drawback is it hides the cocking indicator. Safety first, then squeeze!
I do like the Trail Hunter line, although the verdict is still out on the Hogue stock. I LOVE the feel (overmold)….action feels secure. I have another Hogue I may try the epoxy route to stiffen up the foreend.
I love my two older Savages, one Model 16 FLHSS and a Model 14, both left-hand in 223rem and 243win... (110 used to designate the long-action, 10 was short-action)
Most hunters, I've been around like the weaver bases better than the 1913 rail. Some say u can get the scope closer to the barrel and also like the look of it being open and not a rail bridging the gap!
@@WHOTEEWHO ur probably right i have saw many sitting on barrels. I think it was more 40mm scopes, but ur scope is pretty far off the barrel. Unless u just like yours that far away. I like them as low as they can get. But I guess it's all just preference. Bolt action I like it as low as they go an AR style then I like it raised.
He’s right. Low to the bore isn’t important at all. Put the scope where you can get on it easy and quick, zero the gun, calculate holds properly based on that height, and you’ll be set.
You are a lucky man w/a great job. I have a Ruger American Go Wild Camo 243 that groups lights out. Can’t justify another one, and especially get flak from the wife if I did lol. Just got thru the wife minefield buying a CVA Cascade 308 LRH anyway because of one of your great videos. Keep ‘em coming. Thoroughly enjoy watching your next firearm & adventure. 👍👏👏👏
Adam , I will agree with you on your choice of Dies RCBS and Lyman are my top choices. Most of the Gun stores in my neck of the woods carry Hornady, Lee and RCBS . I have to search for the Lyman dies. I have never hunted with a 243 . I own 3 a Remington 760 and a Howa 1500 and a Ruger American rifle that Zi won on a Ducks Unlimited Calendar draw. Both the Ruger and the Howa group well. I have not shot the Remington 760 . It's a safe queen it sits along my other Remingtons pump action rifles.
The only thing I wished they would include with this model is a fluted barrel with that same heavy contour at 22”. I know they did this with the trail hunter lite model, but some of us like a longer barrel.
You really love guns and I gotta say it entertains me!! I've sold off so many guns over the past few years and really regret doing so... I'm talking like almost 90 plus bolt-guns and I only have two that I managed to keep. Point must be something along the lines of never sell your guns!! just like those crypto people, never sell your coins. Great vids, haven't watched any in a while, so glad to see your still making them. Make sure to do some vids of your hunting trip it Texas, wish I could go on a hunting outing. You really like the newer guns and the savages, you should check out some of the used shops here in Canada. Really really good selection here these days.
Have you thought about sighting in and shooting 5 groups 5 shots each with the 2 price bases and then switch the same scope to a p rail and compare the accuracy?
I wouldn't mind upgrading my 243, it's a marlin S7 with a 22" barrel. It shoots good, the trigger is adjusted all the way down to 2.5 lbs, but the Savage VSX Hunter with a 24" heavy fluted barrel is what I have been eye balling lol. Imo, the 243 is underrated for what it's capable of and with its accuracy and light recoil, that's a hard combo to beat.
Not a weaver fan but at least it’s not a picatinny rail….2 piece mounts are sleek looking…better than a stick with a bunch of ribbs witch only 2 slots being used
I absolutely love 243. I have often wondered if you bought a short replacement barrel and a 1:7 twist and you ran a hotter cartridge. Could you push the heavier green fast twist projectiles and get them to Group
Yeah… you need a rifle rack, an ammo shelf, and a set up with peg board and the wires like they keep the rubber worms and Rapalas on at Walmart. I looked it up. They are called i-hooks. I got the peg board and I hooks. You buy new stuff and take it home and put it back on your I hooks just like you bought it off of. Then you can see what you have a it’s there when you need it. Tournament fishermen use these I hooks all the time. But mostly you need a universal rifle rack system. You gotta do something. 🤷🏼😂
Just bought 110 trail at academy 308cal and came with 20moa 1 piece rail so maybe you made it come to light and now their on there . Atleast 308 might be academy exclusive not sure
I’m a Ruger m77 guy but I recently got a 8 twist tikka t3x in 243 that shoots bug holes with the 58 grain vmax bullets. I’m itching to load up some 95 grain Barnes LRX for it.
I've heard you talk about reloading, many times, but have yet to see you test any handloads that you have made. We're ready to see that, bro! I have a dozen rifles that have never fired factory ammo, and they probably never will (until I'm dead and someone else has them, lol).
Yeah, if I had a pressing need for something, I'd give one of these a go. Only thing I have the hots for is a 280 AI but I'd have pretty little actual use for one. Heck, I have three 270s and a 30-06 I almost never shoot. I've had nothing but great experience with Savage. My first bolt 223 was a Savage Varminter circa 2001. I think my first 22-250 was an identical rifle. Currently have an older 110 in 30-06 and a really old 110 in 270. Not 100% sure on the date, but it should be between 1966 and 1968 and probably closer to 1968. Still shoots like an absolute champ. Don't currently own a 240 but used to have a fairly lightweight Rem 700 and a not lightweight M70 Coyote, I think that was the model. Laminate stock and matte stainless/nickle type finish. That was one of three rifles I bought from a former benchrest shooter and man that was a great rifle!
well, not sure if Gunny Hathcock is still alive, but he used weaver in his time in the jungle to become the best. Just saying, but unless weaver rails and all that have gone down hill since he used them.
My uncle was very into the .243 for small game, red deer the largest, next up was moose and its not allowed for those big game due to having to low energy.
I bought my 1st Savage 110 with a plain wood stock in 300Win mag in 1988 , With a 4-12 Simmons & plain 180gr Core Locts it shot touching 3 shot groups, Stupidly sold it
Savage is my go to. But I prefer wood (even laminate, my current freezer filler has a Boyd's laminate) stocks, steel rings and two piece bases (look much better IMO and give action access) and I really have no need for a threaded muzzle. Maybe when supressors drop below $250 and I don't need to be a corporation or some such to register one. By then I'll be so deaf from age and degeration it won't matter.
I have a savage axis in 308 and I put a very nice scope on it and it is all over the paper, tried 4 different ammo brands and weight but none provided better than a 2” group. I have a savage 110 with walnut stock in308 and is a tack driver, not all savages are accurate. P.S. that guitar has a great sound to it, any info on it?
I have a question can you do a review the inserts that goes in a shotguns that allows them to shoot bullets like 22lr 45acp 357 mag 10mm 9mm I believe they make them for single shot and pump shotguns
I had a Houge overmolded stock years ago so maybe not the same as current. It was pillar bedded but the forend forward of the action was super flexible and not great with a bipod. Are the ones on you 110 Trailhunter the same or do they have something in them to strengthen the forend?
I’m not giving this man much rifle advice. 😂 Many people like to keep it all on the same side because it leaves the other side of the rifle to be smothered and clean and also without snags. The left side is gonna be on your cloths so you done want nuts and things sticking out that can snag. That left side without the nuts on it will the side you see mostly when handling the rifle so having it looks slick is nice too. Just my opinion. I do different things on different rifles for different reasons. Happy shooting!
Also on these rings… they have a bubble level on them. If you reverse the nuts to the left side you are putting your level on the right side and possibly on the back of the ring where you can’t see it at all. If the level is on the left you can easily peek at it or open both eyes to see it. If it’s on the right… if you can see it at all…. You would have to break from your hold position to move your head to see the level. 👍
My brother has a 308 that shot a one hole 5 shot group the size of a 308 bullet at all most150 yards never seen a gun shot that good and can do it ever time
Hey there! I asked you the other day if you preferred the 110 Trail Hunter, or the 110 Lite. I guess this means you prefer the 110 Trail Hunter. Is it because it has the longer barrel? My next rifle will be one or the other in .243.
Dude… we gotta get you a professional wall rack system to put those rifles and ammo on. 😂 you need a store gone out of business to get a shelf system from or just buy the new fancy stuff Adam. Airborne.

I can't agree more with you about the emphasis on group size.. Won't group, won't keep it.. Life's too short..
Life really IS too short to put up with rifles that will not group. I’ve wasted too much time on inaccurate firearms.

What brand barrel did you use for the 25" 7mm-08?
Those two factors you mentioned really do make a difference in the decision-making process.
I have the 110 VSX HUNTER XP from Bass Pro Shops in .243. It has a threaded and fluted 24" barrel. The fact that it was a 24" barrel is one of the reasons that I got it. I also have an TrueTimber Strata Axis XP in .308 with a standard non threaded 22" barrel and both of them shoot lights out.
I have that same rifle (VSX HUNTER XP) in 308 and I get sub 1" groups at 100 yards consistently with factory ammo. You just can't beat a Savage IMO.
The VSX Hunter rifles are one of the few that actually used a 24" barrel for the 243. Being an overbore cartridge, it needs all the barrel length it can get for it's maximum potential, which is far better than folks give it credit for imo.

Good looking setup. Savage has stepped their game up.
Good looking rig Adam I love savage can't wait to see how it groups

Sweeeeet
Not a weaver fan but at least it’s not a picatinny rail….2 piece mounts are sleek looking…better than a stick with a bunch of ribbs witch only 2 slots being used
I just noticed that receiver is a bit different than the regular 110 rifles. Looks like the same receiver on the timberline model.
I absolutely love 243. I have often wondered if you bought a short replacement barrel and a 1:7 twist and you ran a hotter cartridge. Could you push the heavier green fast twist projectiles and get them to Group

If possible would like the link for the scope you put on this rifle 😁
.243 is common in England as its minimum deer caliber for all deer

When you put your Banish 30 shoosher device on different calibers, do you use the 30 end cap or do you change end caps for the various calibers?
30 cal on all 30 and smaller
Which rifle would you recommend between Ruger gen 2 and savage trail hunter lite?
Savage
@@WHOTEEWHO thank you for the quick response. I really e joy your reviews.
@ Savage Axis 2 pro or Savage trail hunter lite?
you should check out the browning x bolt target max heavy competition. Its heavy but its smooth and trigger is great. i just pucked one up in 6gt.
That Trail Hunter looks great. Do you still have that fantastic Weatherby Vanguard in 243?
Yup
Great info my friend 👍👍👍👍 👋👋👋😊
Wow , they really shoot well !
I've heard you talk about reloading, many times, but have yet to see you test any handloads that you have made. We're ready to see that, bro! I have a dozen rifles that have never fired factory ammo, and they probably never will (until I'm dead and someone else has them, lol).

Yeah, if I had a pressing need for something, I'd give one of these a go. Only thing I have the hots for is a 280 AI but I'd have pretty little actual use for one. Heck, I have three 270s and a 30-06 I almost never shoot. I've had nothing but great experience with Savage. My first bolt 223 was a Savage Varminter circa 2001. I think my first 22-250 was an identical rifle. Currently have an older 110 in 30-06 and a really old 110 in 270. Not 100% sure on the date, but it should be between 1966 and 1968 and probably closer to 1968. Still shoots like an absolute champ. Don't currently own a 240 but used to have a fairly lightweight Rem 700 and a not lightweight M70 Coyote, I think that was the model. Laminate stock and matte stainless/nickle type finish. That was one of three rifles I bought from a former benchrest shooter and man that was a great rifle!
Nice video looking forward to seeing these later
I need to get me one of those! Still got the purple finger from your goofy black deer!
well, not sure if Gunny Hathcock is still alive, but he used weaver in his time in the jungle to become the best. Just saying, but unless weaver rails and all that have gone down hill since he used them.
As long as it’s strong and doesn’t move… it really doesn’t matter much which you use.
@@TheBeefSlayer agreed, I use both styles and no problems
My uncle was very into the .243 for small game, red deer the largest, next up was moose and its not allowed for those big game due to having to low energy.
You ever going to do that video with your new browning x bolt in 6.8 western????
I bought my 1st Savage 110 with a plain wood stock in 300Win mag in 1988 , With a 4-12 Simmons & plain 180gr Core Locts it shot touching 3 shot groups, Stupidly sold it
Savage is my go to. But I prefer wood (even laminate, my current freezer filler has a Boyd's laminate) stocks, steel rings and two piece bases (look much better IMO and give action access) and I really have no need for a threaded muzzle. Maybe when supressors drop below $250 and I don't need to be a corporation or some such to register one. By then I'll be so deaf from age and degeration it won't matter.
They actually say that laminate stocks are much stronger than traditional walnut stocks.
Evolution Gun Works sells picatinny rails for those. They run about $70.
I have a savage axis in 308 and I put a very nice scope on it and it is all over the paper, tried 4 different ammo brands and weight but none provided better than a 2” group. I have a savage 110 with walnut stock in308 and is a tack driver, not all savages are accurate. P.S. that guitar has a great sound to it, any info on it?
Is this model better than the cascade in camo threaded barrel and vortex scope for $717 bucks?
I have a question can you do a review the inserts that goes in a
shotguns that allows them to shoot bullets like 22lr 45acp 357 mag 10mm 9mm I believe they make them for single shot and pump shotguns
Good old Tollivers! 😊
Yeah buddy
They nice bullet slingers, no one local to me has any in stock , I’m not sure of the caliber I’m going for though !!
Try the trail hunter lite next. Im curious!
Weaver bases are fine. Just buy Weaver base rings, and you’re good to go.
You can make a vídeo of putting some chassis ,I put the Oryx chassis in my savage man it looks good
I had a Houge overmolded stock years ago so maybe not the same as current. It was pillar bedded but the forend forward of the action was super flexible and not great with a bipod. Are the ones on you 110 Trailhunter the same or do they have something in them to strengthen the forend?
That action sure looks like what savage put on there target rifles several years back
Recommend moving your scope ring lock nuts to the other side. That’ll keep em out of the way on the working side of the rifle.
I’m not giving this man much rifle advice. 😂
Many people like to keep it all on the same side because it leaves the other side of the rifle to be smothered and clean and also without snags. The left side is gonna be on your cloths so you done want nuts and things sticking out that can snag.
That left side without the nuts on it will the side you see mostly when handling the rifle so having it looks slick is nice too.
Just my opinion. I do different things on different rifles for different reasons.
Happy shooting!
Also on these rings… they have a bubble level on them. If you reverse the nuts to the left side you are putting your level on the right side and possibly on the back of the ring where you can’t see it at all. If the level is on the left you can easily peek at it or open both eyes to see it. If it’s on the right… if you can see it at all…. You would have to break from your hold position to move your head to see the level. 👍
thank you. I've been shooting the 350L and wondering if you are a fan?
I've got several Savage rifles and they're all very good shooters!
The lower scope base may have led to a lower scope mount and deeper cheek weld which resulted in such tight groups.
Can you please do a review on the Weatherby 307 Alpine CT?!
I need to
@ you’d be the first legit one!
Cmon Adam, waiting on the follow up 6.8 western browning vid
I'm waiting to pick up the rings for it. Should be out next week
@ ok thanks fir updating me
I remember you pushing the Ruger American for quite a while. What happened?
Long story 👍👍
Did you just discover the Savages, or did something happen that made you lose that loving feeling for the Rugers?
You can modify weaver bases with a file to fit Picatinny
To much hassle and wouldn't be precise if I did it
That should be a good keeper.
👍👍
Thank you for letting us live vicarious thru your hobbies
Thanks for watching
Great video....I have one like that but in a 223 ....
Nice wood, polished blue steel are a joy for the eye, but then sling in on your back and it getsdinged scratches, ouch.
I like the look of a rifle fitted with Weaver rings much better than with Picatinny rails that look they escaped from a kid's construction kit
My brother has a 308 that shot a one hole 5 shot group the size of a 308 bullet at all most150 yards never seen a gun shot that good and can do it ever time
Hey there!
I asked you the other day if you preferred the 110 Trail Hunter, or the 110 Lite. I guess this means you prefer the 110 Trail Hunter. Is it because it has the longer barrel? My next rifle will be one or the other in .243.
I prefer the longer, heavier barrel. I've had 2 of the lites tho and they both did good too
Waiting on the 6.8 western video 😁
Me too
Are those pillar bedded?
Dude… we gotta get you a professional wall rack system to put those rifles and ammo on. 😂 you need a store gone out of business to get a shelf system from or just buy the new fancy stuff Adam.
Airborne.
Trail hunter lite comes with longer bases,just saying and fluted barrel and Hogue stock.
Bur skinnier, shorter barrel
You have to be,their best customer!
Doubt it 🤣
I wish you’d do a video on the Sig Cross 18” 6.5CM
Whats your Thoughts on the Taipan X 223 or 300 ACC pump action rifle
Never heard of it. Sounds interesting
Love your vids Adam and your passion for gun learnt a lot of your vids xxden
Hey Man…you should have bought a Weatherby Vanguard…they have 24” threaded barrel
True. I like those. But those have skinny barrels
@…yes they do
So, are you going to get a 7mm back country?
Eventually
