Hey Deputy, how it's going? Not trying to stick for Toby Bridges, he can do that capably himself, but the reason he hasn't tested one, is because they haven't sent him one, to test and wring out for himself by himself. He has stated to me that he was not interested in traveling up to Michigan, just to fire a few shots through a chronograph.

Not doubt that at those velocities, the UF is impressive, for a blackpowder rifle. But to state that the Savage does not come close, well that's not the case. We've been shooting 300gr XTP's at those velocities out of our custom builts for the better part of a 14 years now and out of Savage's for the past 4 years. Here is a link to Doug's site http://dougva.proboards34.com/index....avage&start=80
They are talking about 3,000+ FPS with the Savage now, with some loads. Even 2,600 FPS with light weight 250gr bullets are getting to be hohum, these days.
