Art
Seaman's Savage Score!
Art Seaman is an experienced
hunter who hails from Cadillac, Michigan. Earlier this year, Art
called me to investigate whether the Savage 10ML-II was "as
great as everyone says." I assured Art that no, it wasn't
"as great" as he had heard-- it was BETTER. Art
picked up a new Savage 10ML-II and dialed her in, in preparation
for his whitetail hunt out West.
It
was a storybook ending for Art; after a long week of hunting he
has intermittently spotted a monster that had an affection for a
tree in the middle of nowhere. Though hard to get to, surrounded
by a whole bunch of nothing, on the last day of his hunt he decided
to give it a go. Art was rewarded with this 300 pound plus beauty,
that was no easy task getting out of the field. The load was 55
grains of Vihtavouri N120, pushing a Barnes Original .458 Spitzer
Soft point within an MMP Orange sabot. This trophy went zero steps,
and expired instantly with just two last faint kicks as dropped
on the spot-- just plummeting straight down. According to Art, it
was one of the most absolutely quick and devastating drops he has
ever seen on a game animal.
Congratulations to Art Seaman-- that is a beautiful
way to break in a new Savage, with a lot of horn to show for the
effort:
