Nice grouping!

ABSOLUTELY !

ACCU-TRIGGER?

Did the shots climb as you fired?

No climb, up, down, center. Too old, too much whiskey and cigs over the years. just the best I can do anymore. No accu-trigger, my own custom job on a 1958 Savage. Love the smell of fresh carved Black Walnut. Hand carved.

BEAUTIFUL STOCK !

My latest toy is a Sako A7 , I no longer have any wood stocked rifles, wife calls all of them F-ugly. her Dad did his own stockwork and they were like fine art.

I have a 10-FP Savage in 308 that prints just as nice as your group above, and yeah I am 60, used to smoke, drink too much coffee and too little Evan Williams.

Congrats on a nice Savage, regardless of age or features!

My son has a 10FP in .243 with the syn. stock. A nice shooter and a good caliber for the blacktail deer around here, although I have taken some pretty big Muleys with mine out as far as 300+ yards. Just a plain fun shooter. Also have a custome .338 Win Mag that is a one holer when you put it in a lead sled but your right, at 63 I am just not that steady any more. I can brag at a clip on a walking coyote at 962 on the range finder. Cold barrel shot and 3 witnesses, so sometimes I still do pretty good!

962 yards, now that is good shooting, and some would say G-M errrr I mean B-S, (lol) but I had a 6MM AI about 15 years ago that I used to shoot IBS 1000 yard benchrest, so I know it is doable. First time out an ole boy from WV got behind his spotting scope and set me up and the fourth shot busted a clay bird on the berm @ 1K yards. Won my relay but the WIND got the best of me in the shoot-off.

Regardless I know how much of a rush it is to shoot that far and connect. 400+ yard groundhogs but no song dogs yet, lol. They are getting thicker here so my time is due.

Squeekers are fun out here. The little Oregon ones are only about 9" tall and make for some tough shots at 400 but it is quite doable.
Just remember when the times get tough...... The wind IS your friend as long as you are not on the trigger end!!!
