HMM , maybe I should have asked what to use first . What I did should work but I think I like your guys idea better . Maybe I'll do that with my Savage MK2 . Although I think I'm getting the tacticool stock from Boyds http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/product.htm?pid=9761&cat=1215 for the MK2 soon so there is no real need to mess with the stock right now .

I took it out again the other day . With adding the weight by filling in the stock . I can barely feel the recoil . Yes it's there but really just a medium push rather then a kick per-say . I like it alot and was shooting sub 1/2 moa out to 300 yards again . I did have what I now think is a scope problem . I was a complete MOA off on my adjustments from one day to the next .The rifle was still zeroed at 100yds and POI was dead on . When I adjusted my scope to what should be my 300yd zero It was 1 MOA off in elevation . I have not had a chance to do a turret tracking test . I have no way of locking the rifle down to make sure it does not move so I can test the turrets . The scope is a low end Vortex so I'm not all that surprised . Sometimes you really get what you pay for . this just makes me want to get the better scope sooner . I really wanted the Vortex Viper PST but the funds are just not there for that but I might settle for the SWFA SS 10x42 for now http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-10x42-Tactical-Riflescope-P500.aspx
If I'm going to work on long range shooting I will need a scope that the turrets track correctly .

I wouldn't call it settling for the SWFA scope...but I might be biased as I have one 
So far, at least with mine, no tracking issues. I just ran it out successfully to 600 yards today on steel. Everything was repeatable once dialed in at the various distances.

Great shooting Metal. Say when you get the chance try this one. My Savage 308 loves it
175 smk
GM210M primers
43.2 gn's RL-15
Mess with the COL a little bit. At 300 yards mine will take a golf ball 9 out of 10 times.

Thanks 4runnerman I will but not sure when I'll have that powder . I back ordered a bunch a stuff early Feb and my bullets just shipped today . I got 175 MKs , 178 A-MAX and 165 SST coming but still no powder . Thats been on back order for just about as long IMR 4064 and some stuff for my AR . My buddy and I are going to do big powder , primer order and split the cost . looking to get Varget and some pistol powder . If I see the RL-15 instock I'll pick some up .

Good Luck Metal. I have 15 lbs of Varget and 7 lbs of 4064,but no RL15, and no BR2 or BR4 primers. Lots of 22LR shooting going on here
