This is my most accurate rifle, in 6mmBR.
It started out as a Savage 12 BVSS, but was customized by an unknown gunsmith. It has a 1 in 12" barrel 24" long, 1-1/4 at the muzzle. The trigger is set at just under 2#. The scope mount is a Ken Farrell 20 MOA in case I get frisky and go long range with it.
I put a Bushnell Elite 6-24x40 on it. Very nice scope, liked it so much I bought another one for another rifle.
The load it shoots best is: Lapua brass, 30.5 grains of Varget, CCI BR primers, and Berger 80 grain bullets. I load them just short of the lands.
Best group so far measured .200" for 5 rounds at 100 yards. That's fantastic for me, although not for seasoned bench rest shooters.

Fly Shooter
I have a target shot with a .223 11FHNS & a VX1 scope set on 6x.
I was goofing off at the range went 1-6 on flies at 100yard from a sand bag rest off the hood of my pickup truck. 55gr Sierra & range pick up brass fired out of a AR15. I won't try and tell you it was pure skill, probably mostly luck but I thought still kinda neat for a varmint barrel gun. The group at the top was just making empty brass, not a representation of actual accuracy.
All the Savage rifles I have seen shoot very well.

My custom rimfires
Up front is a MKIIBV, and behind is a 93 BTVSS .22WMR.
Both are set in Boyd's Evo SS stocks, with DIP trigger guards and heavy mag plates.
Scopes are a Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14X40 on the 93, and a Bushnell 6-18X50 on the MKII. Both are mounted on DIP rails with Burris sig zee rings...

Here is my stainless-steel .243 Winchester, with 24" "magnum" weight barrel from the Savage custom shop.
I have added a new bolt handle from Brownells, and a Nikon 4-16x42 side-focus scope with BDC reticule.
( click image to see it larger )
It's favorite load:
70 grain Nosler ballistic tip
47 grain H4350
@ 3450 fps.
Here's a recent five-shot group at 100 yards.
It weighs ten pounds with the scope and would make a fair varminter - but I just shoot paper with it. Accurate enough to challenge you, and no noticeable recoil. Lots of fun for the whole family.
Every three rounds, a bore-snake wet with Hoppes #9 goes through it to clean and cool it.

PVL,
That is my favorite and most accurate load in my .243, as well.
