Should be fine,freind was out in So. Dakota for a week and brought his home with guts in un frozen ,just keep them cool and they were fine. He is from England and they don't gut them ? Something about an old why of cooking them? I ate one and it was great.
Recoil has never been a problem for me while hunting ,I guess I can always put on a good pad if this is unbearable. I was mostly interested in functions and reliability, balance etc.Thanks
Lot of scumbags out there,I manage 40,000 acres of land the public is allowed to hunt ,fish, ride horses on and you should see some of the messes I clean up. Whats with these low life"s ?
I have two .280AI's and have had excellent luck with both on paper and game. Last three shots ,two bucks at over 400 yards and one 330 class bull at 325 yards. We have gongs from 300 to 980 yards to get dialed in. First thing we do is float forearm then BED lug ,tang, and part of action in front...
I have a hunter in .280AI and it shoots the 131 Hammers At 3121fps under an inch consistently. If I cool it and do my part I have shot a few 5 shot groups at 1/2-5/8ths. Took awhile to ring it out but for a light barrel and rifle it is impressive. I really like the safety ,trigger, and actions...
Savage has came a very long ways, the ultralight is proof of that. Just got done bedding and free floating one for a friend. Shoots half inch minus at 100 yards. Only ways around 6 pounds ,scope sling and full mag.
