[QUOTE="CRNA, post: 522150, member: 22495"] I had the opportunity to shoot one while out with a couple of buddies while doing some long range tuning. I just shook my head when this guy started to swap out barrels/scopes. I thought "aint no way in hell he is even going to be on paper once he switches all that crap" (he was shooting at 100yds at the time). To my sheer amazement it was really close. He changed from .308win to 300 win mag in just a couple of minutes. Now, was it a true tack-driver? Not really. Was it accurate enough to hunt deer sized animals inside 500yds? You better believe it! I am not going to sell half of whats in my safe to own one plus the barrels and scopes needed for a swap. I didn't like the bulky safety, and I found that if the bolt handle isn't really pushed forward it will not fire. I would be super ****ed if I missed a trophy animal because I didn't get the bolt pushed hard enough forward after cycling a round. For those who haven't shot one, I believe you would be impressed, as I was. I could still walk his dog with my Savage bolt gun at any distance, but there was not a huge change in POI as one might think. Just my .02. [/QUOTE]
