I Traded my used savage 110 Tactical desert today for a NIB Ruger American Go Wild in the same caliber.
The Savage was great. Shot well etc. I decided though that I wanted something lighter.. Something that wasn't as difficult to carry if I choose to hunt with it.
Also one reason is that I wanted a rifle that wasn't throat-ed as long as the Savage. With the Savage, With the eldx and game changer 6.5mm bullets. I couldn't get any closer than .050 from the lands at mag length.
With the Ruger, I can fit both bullets into the magazine when seated to the lands. This will make it easier for me to Tune my loads with this rifle I think.
Overall, Its what I set out looking for today. After switching to the lighter rifle and losing the Bipod. This rifle comes in 3.5 pounds lighter than the Savage was setup with the same scope.
