When I do go elk hunting, I will be bringing my Savage Axis .308. Still testing which factory ammo it likes.

 

So far I've gotten good results with 150gr Core-Lokt. Ok results from 180gr Core-Lokt.

Got some Federals 180gr but have yet to try them. Soon I hope.

I'm currently shooting a Savage Axis in 30-06. I changed to a full weaver rail scope mount. I use leupold rings mounting an Atholon Neos 4-12×40 bdc illuminated reticle. I also upgraded the trigger to a rifle basix sav-1 changing the trigger pull to 2.5 pounds. I'll be shooting either 30-06 core lokt 165 gr8 or Winchester xxx 165 gr. still need to shoot some more to determine which shoot better out of my gun. it's fairly new. no pictures at the moment. i was shooting a 270 Rossi single shot

 

update. Installed the trigger this evening. had just under 3 pound pull, no over travel and slight travel in the sear just to make sure it's safe. I know it's an entry level rifle but its turning out very nice.

Thompson Center .54 cal Renegade. 110 grains of Pyrodex with Mag-Spark 209 primer conversion shooting a 430 gr. TC Maxi Ball. Shot my first 2 bulls and 1 cow with this setup.

 

Also have a .50 cal barrel which I shoot 250 gr .45 cal Barnes Expander Sabots with 2 50 gr Pyrodex pellets. Haven't shot anything since switching to this setup yet. Love shooting the old school smoke poles!

I just got my first muzzy. Inline though....

So I noticed you said you have a .50 cal barrel but shoot a .45 cal sabot. I didn't know you could do that! Learn something new everyday. Pretty rifle!
