Uh, I might have to check out that new target action. Savage might have made me a believer if they work as good as they look.

This might put the itch into other companies to follow. Would be nice but I don"t mind the look of that Savage...

Wow, it looks like savage is doing their homework with the addition to having a lower weight trigger assembly and having a 30 inch barrel to squeeze all the fps out of the 6.5x284. I just might look into this one,even though I just picked upa new custom6.5x284.

shooting times has a review on this rifle in the april issue, it'll flat shoot, .850" at 500 yds ain't no slouch.

They also offer the model in .308 as well. Shooting times did a write up on both and they loved them.

Shooting Times tested the 308 model in the April 2007 issue. Yes they list the loads they tested as well.
