Have been looking for one for awhile and came across this.
Savage model 12, .204. Put a nightforce 12-42x56 on it for now.

Shooting factory ammo it is the least accurate rifle l own right now 😂
But l am sure that will change, the dog town king "terminator " has shared a couple of his favorite loads. Now to find time to check them out

Savage Model 12 in 204 and a Nightforce. Don't get much better than that for p-dogging.

Great looking rifle. That Mark V on the wall looks good also.

That set up ought to be outlawed for p-dog towns.Hardly gives them a chance.Just doesn't seem fair

That scope and rifle combo would be deadly to prairie dogs ... on Mars!   ;D  Always liked the wood and stainless combo, so ... yes, I'm jealous!
