[QUOTE="Specializedjon, post: 5327742, member: 20193"] Wrangler, if we're talking about a $8K precision rifle the "break in" is much different. For your Savage, I'd say less than a box. You'll always have your "cold bore shot" with a hunting rifle. If it were me, I'd get to know how your rifle behaves at different temperatures so you can adjust for that 1st shot. You're not going to have the luxury of warming up your barrel while hunting. I wouldn't worry about your break in period. Focus on that cold bore behavior and you'll be fine. My .243 shoots about 1-2 MOA high on my first shot. If I need to take a follow up shot I adjust my hold, not the scope. My $.02 [/QUOTE]
