Savage 110 Predator - First Shots and Sighting In

[@zr1vetteman09]

I have never owned a Savage 110 that couldn’t put three bullets touching with just about any ammo i could load or find. They just flat shoot good and they’re priced very affordably. As far as zeroing goes, for most of my hunting rigs I’ve switched to a 50 yard zero to get a more ideal trajectory for most ethical hunting shots, providing essentially no hold over out to 250-300 yards depending on the cartridge. For consistency’s sake, I’ve decided to just use this zero for everything and it has been a no brainer. Even out to 1200+ yards, I don’t think I’ll go back to “1” high at 100” unknown zeros or even the 100 yard zero. The 50/200 is just the easy button IMO. Quick zero, 100% confidence its dead on and requires no hold overs for most ppl’s comfortable hunting ranges.

[@mikerichards8400]

Fantastic rifle! Savage model 110 have a long history of accuracy! Great work.

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Nice, nice! We are happy with our Savage 110s. Mine is the Storm in 7mm Rem Mag. It is an excellent rifle. My son bought the Apex Storm in 30/06. He took off the Vortex and put one of my old 70s-80s Redfield Tracker scopes on it. Good hunting rifles for sure.

[@dr.froghopper6711]

I once was given a 30-06 to test for a week. It was an old Savage, 1970’s vintage. It had absolutely the best trigger I ever pulled and was a tack driver with 165-168 gr bullets.

[@jeffreybean5363]

Awesome! Who Tee Who 👊, totally dig the cameo theme on that 22/250 Savage. In the groups that you got out of it, and they are all under an inch impressive..

[@jeffreybean5363]

The next bing bang I get is the 6.5 Creedmoor.

[@rideswift]

I have the previous version of that rifle, Predator Hunter Max-1 in 22-250. It is the most accurate factory rifle I own. Infact it gives a few of my custom rifles a run for their money. Shooting 55 gr Blitzkings with H380 it will consistently get 3/8" groups at 100. My best group so far with it was .258", 3 shot group at 200 yards

[@waynemayle865]

I have one also they really are that accurate I run berger 55gr target bullets

[@rideswift]

@@waynemayle865 Berger makes some nice stuff!!

[@NC-xk1eg]

I totally agree with you on barrel break in. Any burrs or rough spots will polish down with normal use. When they're this good out of the box - why worry about it? 🎯

[@Dale37]

I went and sighted in my Savage 22-250 today. All I had was remington Core-Lokt 55 grain psp, and they did pretty good. It was so hot that I mainly wanted to get it sighted in and get some chronograph readings. It averaged 3577 f.p.s over three shots. It was 95 degrees outside, so being precise wasn't on my agenda today.😅 It did shoot m.o.a for being rushed, so I felt good about that. I hadn't shot a 22-250 since I was a kid. Brought back an inner love affair.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Gotta love 22-250

[@Dale37]

@@WHOTEEWHO Yes, sir! Forgot to add that I hope to get my six year old her first deer with it this year.

[@WVStewOutdoors]

I have this same rifle in 22-250. By far the most accurate rifle I own!

[@gascheck8151]

I never met a Savage that didn’t shoot and I’m 75. Goes back along time.

[@JiggyjarjardoM77]

You love doing them videos and we love watching them 👍

🙏🙏🙏

[@Garydasnaill]

I own a late 80’s Savage 110 in 308 beautiful gun! Has a gorgeous walnut stock with like tiger stripe grain in the wood blued action and barrel and my favorite and what I grew up with old school iron sights! Out to 200 years this old savage is deadly with iron sights also got a scope with mounts I can still use the irons if I need to for closer or if my scope goes down but with the scope it’s putting holes in holes lol amazing gun savage never let me down I own newer 110’s as well as the cheaper Axis never had a issue and all are sub moa at 200 all touching. Great rifles! But that old savage 110 in 308 is my go to gun feels good, looks good, and is very very accurate!

[@josephmedeiros5770]

Busted hand and all, great groups. Four under an inch 3-shot groups. 12 shots without letting cool. That speaks volumes!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Another sharp shooter from Savage. In the cartridge that I guessed that it was on your IG. 😃 Wolves 🐺 cougars 🐆 and bears 🐻 are also “predators” so that’s why they include the 260 Rem, 308 Win, 6.5 Creed. You are showing us the Savage M110 lineup and I am here for it. Hopefully 🙏 the Timberline is next.

[@NC-xk1eg]

My favorite rifle/caliber. 👍

[@michaelltnv6741]

It's funny seeing a binden video asking for money here. LoL My bucket list is getting bigger. Thank you, brother, for another great review! Im glad your hand is feeling a bit better.

Savage 110 rules

[@phillipstahl73]

My dream rifle !!

[@mikeherrmann5360]

I would recommend the V-MAX Varmint Express 55 gr stuff. My Savage VLP was 1-3 in groups at 300 yards.

[@oncall21]

That is a phenomenal first group (as are the others) with only affordable Remington Corelokt ammo! That Savage is a shooter alright! Thanks for sharing!

[@tjfishing2714]

Shoots incredibly well with factory amo . Great vid as always . Happy shooting from South Australia.

[@ozark_trapper]

Nice rifle!! Wished it had a 1@8 or 1@9 twist barrel. I would buy one in a heartbeat!!

[@catfishsiegel30]

I have not found a bad trigger on any savage Rifle. I have a few of them that pre-date the acu triggers and they are pretty good!😊

[@dougthornquist2729]

I have the same rifle. Amazingly accurate! I also have the 243 and 6.5 CM... all are accurate! Might be getting one in 204 next..

[@Velocity4000fps]

I have a older model predator 110 in 6.5 and it shoots lights out. I use it for long range Groundhog control.

[@toddk1377]

The 110's are great rifles. Me personally, I find it a hard toss up between the 110's and the Ruger American Gen II rifles. I miss having a 22-250, the 243 is great but a 22-250 is no slouch when it comes to a small bullet, it's definitely a little speed demon!

[@byronferreira1099]

i have a sako in 22-250 you convinced me on the cartridge back in 2020

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Awesome

[@adamturnbull6157]

Great rifle. Besides being a good predator rifle it's a good training rifle for a youth moving up from 22 long rifle

[@corneliusthecrowtamer1937]

That rifle is savage

[@troytownsend1730]

Nice vid Whotee, Got my Mod 10 Savage Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor, back from Savage and got her under .6 inch. Think I can get her under 1/2 with this thing i heard called center pectoral, don't know but hoping so,. I also realized my trigger was heavier then when I sent it in, I usually shoot around 2 1/2 pounds but savage sent it back to me at 3 lbs. My bad. but with those two things I am hoping for some groups to write home about. Thanks for another cool vid , on Savages no less, I always wondered why gun tubers like Backfire don't videos on more Savages like the Hunter and the High country do, timberline and the Predator, but they make countless videos on Savages budget models. Anyway, thanks for looking out Whoo-tee.

[@mikecollins8241]

I have one in .243, barely broken in and it's a real tack driver :) I also have the Axis 2 Predator in 22-250, shoots like a lazer, can't wait to see your ammo test for those..

[@carlwilliams6300]

Nice rifle buddy love the 22-250 it’s been around a long time 👍👍

Sorry I missed the premiere but glad to catch the replay. Happy 4th week yall. Have some fun.

[@tallboy49]

Never done a barrel break in in my 70 years of shooting and have never had a problem

[@robertvandick453]

Love 22-250. Mine is dead on like yours, but I like longer range.

[@Benroe-yz1nz]

My 110 hunter with the accustock is my favorite rifle. It groups amazing and i was able to dial the fit in perfectly. Put a bolt lift kit and a tactical bolt handle on it and it's pure heaven.

[@Benroe-yz1nz]

Is this legit?

[@eskimoreloader]

I have 110 savage in 6mm creedmoor

[@lawrence9447]

Try hornady 55 vmax. Winxhester supreme 55 grn. The cheap white box winchester 45 grn stuff shot very well in my model 12 varmint. I miss that rifle.

[@user-ws2gw4ss4o]

Have this exact same rifle. Love it! Its my dedicated coyote gun.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Awesome

[@rawtoe437]

Just got that 110 in the hunter model. The only difference is that mine has the bronze cerakote finish, and it's chambered in 350 Legend. Making some subsonic rounds with the Hornady Sub-X 250 gr. boolots. It does look even better in person.

[@TMFShooting]

Very Nice 💯Another Great Video 💯, thanks for Sharing 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@JAEUFM]

Took my 110 to the range today. Found out it absolutely hates Federal 165 gr. Game King ammo. Will try some Federal Fusion 165 gr. tomorrow.

[@TomL3grandsons]

My 110 3006 is very accurate. The only thing I don’t like about it is the bolt is a bigger pain to pull out than it should be. Another good video as normal.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks for watching

[@MichaelJohnson-bu4rr]

22 250 is mean little rifle caliber have a model 70 chambered 22 250 ive taken a lot of good buck and some big hogs in north east florida but its been said savage has come a long way ive had several rifle before the accu trigger that were incredibly accurate even have a model 94 stevens 12gq by savage that holds a remarkable pattern with 00 buck 15 pellets

[@taylorjackson7908]

Savage rifles have always been shooters !

[@dcmtrader]

Nice looking rifle

[@TTT-du6oj]

WTW i think you should keep it set there,should leave you with approximately a 2” drop at 250 yards,giving you no holdover capability on fairly small targets to that distance and only about 5” drop to 300,but i would verify that on paper👍

[@colinkobel2868]

I’ve been shooting for 65 yrs. I have tried all kinds of zeros, but I have always come back to a one hundred yard zero. You should shoot each of the distances and figure out the drop. Information is power. I think you have a shooter, but always let the barrel cool. If you treat it right it will take care of you. A bull barrel is obviously different and can take more.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I agree

[@daven1151]

I have this rifle custom chambered from savage in 300wsm. It shoots just as good.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Awesome

[@gabemcneil5221]

I have a model 10 predator hunter in 6.5 creedmoor . I have killed a trailer load of game with it . I have also hit steel targets out to 1500 yards . I paid around 800.00 for it when the 6.5 creedmoor first came out . Awesome gun, and shoots great ! For the money , it can’t be beat!!!

[@elvinirons5959]

Not bad grouping with factory ammo n new rifle !!

[@justinlloyd9342]

Dang I want this thing in a 260rem I pretty well thought that was a dead cartridge only problem is finding shells

[@Mike80528]

I'd really be curious how the Howa's stack up against the Savage if you have any. They also have some nice budget rifles, but I can't find many comparisons between the two. You have been getting such consistent results with the Savage rifles that it doesn't even seem worth looking at some of the others...

[@forrestebert5276]

I’d try some Berger bullets some sierra load with CCI BR4 primers and your favorite powder. You’d like the targets I’m looking at from my 6.5 PRC I have a few 3 shots touching almost 1 hole!

[@davidlaney8254]

All three of my Savage rifles are sub-MOA. But I’ll never understand how so many see factory ammo as being lacking in performance, yet somehow see new factory barrels as needing no further attention.

[@chrisb9478]

Next time you’re at Harbor Freight, grab a laser thermometer, that way you can tell us exactly how warm the barrel is. Looks like they’re less than $25.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Good idea

[@tommarshall4849]

If you decide to hand load for this then you might try the 69gr tipped sierra matchking with Varget. My savage with the 1 in 12 twist shot amazing with them and worked great on coyotes

[@eskimoreloader]

You should compare 22-250 and 22 ARC bolt gun

[@shauno7582]

Slick rig there mate. Looks like those rings could go down a size? You should have the clearance on the bell still I reckon.

[@jeremystyron9721]

Hey man awesome vedio had a question for ya . Do you not like Remington Rifels? Don't think i have seen you test any Remington models .I know you're a Remington ammo fan 😂 so just curious to see if you plan on trying them out would love to see some Remington Rifels in some vedios? Iam a big fan of Remington all the way around . Keep up the great content my kids and I enjoy watching .God bless you and your family God-bless America

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I have a couple older ones. The new ones are simply too expensive

[@americanharleyrider8]

I bought a used Remington 700 Varmint probably 5 years ago. They now go for way over $1,500.00 on gunbroker. I would not pay that for a rifle. My CZ 527 Varmint in 204 Ruger was $550.00. They now sell for $1,400.00 plus. I would not give that for it.

[@EricChmelarsky-vh7eq]

WTW, Should you reload for the 22-250. I would recommend the Sierra 52 grain HPBT. Get it around 3600 fps, I've seen incredible accuracy from this bullet.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I need to

[@jesseguzman378]

Man you have to talk Savage into making a 7.62x39 mm . I have a 7.62x39 mm in every of brand . Can't find a Savage scout in a America

I don’t know about hitting a deer w 22-250 but I’ve seen you do it. Where do you like hitting them? What grain bullet? I bought a CVA VH 22-250 after watching your video(s) for PD & coyote. I like the 338 WM too but for the lower 48, deer, it’s kind of overkill. I like a 358 Winchester for deer though. Watch your video’s all the time. Thx for your efforts. Learn a lot.

[@paulnirschl6500]

Got hoards of wolfs up here. Come on up.

[@bergerbroer1]

Great videos mate. Just my 2 cents worth, I assume you always hunt at shot distances, my guns are always zeroed at 1.5 inches high at 100 to be spot-on at 200.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I have everything dead on at 100 and dial past that. Keeps everything the same

[@brandonjett16]

[@Yetified_Mayhem]

Wow

[@charleswinter2639]

Would you please answer a question for me. Where I hunt , it could be within 100 yards out to 3 or 4 hundred yards sometimes more. I’ve always been taught to sight my guns in at 2 to 3” at 100 yards. That way I can aim right on out to longer distances than sighting in at 0 at 100 yards. Is there some reason you sight in at 100 yards always? Is it because you hunt in closer quarters? I’ve found out that by sighting in the way I do it I can usually reach out an extra 100 or so yards and still hit the vitals. Just curious. Almost everyone I know in my area has been taught the same thing as me. Almost. This isn’t a criticism. It is a question that I’m really curious about. Thumbs up to your channel. Some of the things you bring to my attention have helped me to understand better, and make me a better shot. Also, some of the guns that you have introduced, I have purchased and I really do appreciate it. One last note I am a fan of Woodstocks. I do not dislike synthetic stocks, but there’s something about a nice piece of wood for a stock that just makes my guns look great. And I do some other stocks on my guns. I know it makes them lighter, but I also noticed that I get a little more recoil on the larger guns. Once again, thanks for contacting Arkin for me. I really appreciate you.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Most of my shots are at 50 yards where we hunt. Also I sight in at 100 yards and make my long range drop charts based off that. I do not agree with the 1 or 2 inches high method. That way you assume your bullet is still in the kill zone with certain ranges and it will be okay. I want to know exactly where I put my bullet. And I do that with dialing or holding in the reticle.

[@charleswinter2639]

when I sign in high by 2 inches or so I practice out at different distances so I know exactly where my bullet will go. Kinda like having a chart except I make my own chart, but I understand why you don’t do it now. Some people in at 200 yards I don’t agree with that, some people sign in at 250 yards. I don’t agree with that. Just give you an example when I shoot my 243 I am too much is higher 100 an inch and a half high at 206 inches low at 300 and so on, but I know exactly where I’m going to hit at the distances given one of the reasons I do what I do is because I don’t have time to range a lot of our deer are moving fast and they only give me just a moment to shoot. I guess every area and every person has their own reasons and I respect that. Also, the way I’ve been taught for 60 years. And it seems to work for me. I was just curious why you didn’t. Thanks for your answer. It’s much appreciated.

[@charleswinter2639]

I have an idea. How would you like to do a program about siding in at 2 inches high or 2 1/2 inches high and then going out to 100 200 300 400 500 or more yards and see what the differences between the drop chart on the box of bullets or the ballistic chart you get off the Internet, and what my theory does I think it would make for a great show. I would be very, very interested and I know a lot of my friends would too. Just keep that in mind. I just think it would be kind of fun to watch you might be surprised how many people would be interested in doing that.
