I have this rifle and shoot it at least once a week. If you pair it up with a decent scope and some Federal Gold Match 168 HPBT ammo you'll get hooked. Don't say no one warned you.

Been there said: Lack of aftermarket custom options for the Savage may not be a bad thing.
Does it matter that Winchester 70 actions proved more reliable, easier to operate and maintain, held bedding better and are near 3 times stiffer than the Remingtons? This is the track record of both when used in matches shot in 3 positions at ranges from 100 to 1000 yards. Both single round loading for slow fire matches and 10-shot rapid fire matches reloading after 5 rounds fired.
Why do you think that first happened back in the 1960's when Winchester 70 action based ones were replaced with Remington 700 action versions?Winchester isn't used as a DM or Sniper rifle with the U.S. Military...
Here's the story including $$$ and politics......I wasn't debating the government's choice to replace the Model 70 with the 700...and don't know the history behind it.
I'm sure there's a story there, no doubt with $$$ and politics playing the usual role
