They are great rifles, I use one for ML season here in Wi. I use a White in Co. because of conical and no smokeless allowed. The Savage will shoot a 300 Grain Barnes original over 60 grains of VV 120 extremely fast and accurate, kicks quite a bit tho. They do not do as well with BP or subs tho too hard to clean but with smokeless its real easy. You have to weigh your charges tho not measure
