Wow what a grand rifle to own and the 300 Savage is one of those old but effective cartridges too. I hope you have someone to hand this one down to, you just couldn't sell it off with that history and having been lovingly cared for.



Yes the 300 Savage was originally made to approach 30-06 ballistics with 150 and 180 grain loads . I believe the velocities were 2,700 for a 150 and 2380 for a 180 out of a 22 inch barrel . As stated earlier I chronographed some old Winchester Silvertip 180 ammo and it clocked around 2,400 in this rifle . Actually the 7.62x51 or 308 Winchester was a direct result of the 300 Savage . The Savage round was to be used in the New US M14 rifle but the designers wanted a slightly longer neck and the 308 was born .
