It's a Savage, so it will shoot. I have a High Country in 280 AI. I got some stellar groups, sub MOA with 160 Accubonds. The 6.5PRC was my second choice. The package is nice, but it's still just a Savage, so under $1K is probably on okay price, even better at about $850. The stock is stiff and barrel is free-floating. The trigger is great. It looks really cool, too.
