[QUOTE="PBR driver, post: 1575196, member: 20780"] The Model 11 LRH I chose was the 6.5 Creedmoor as they did not make it in 6.5x55mm Swede. This having the same ballistics as the .260 Remington and the 6.5x55mm Swede fit the bill just right for me. This rifle is a joy to shoot and is almost as accurate as my Sako Vixen .22PPC, .222Rem, or my .17 Remington. Shooting factory loads it shoots the 143 ELD-X so so but the Winchester 142gr. LRAB Expedition load it loves 5 into .342" including one I pulled just a bit low. My one criticism would be the muzzle brake design. I would like to see a muzzle brake with side venting and not 360' . The thread pattern on my LRH is oddly a 9/16x28tpi. The 11 LRH is heavy for caliber but for this old guy hunting in the mountains it stays very steady for me compared to a "mountain rifle". Trigger breaks right at 2 3/4 pounds which to me as a gunsmith seems a bit light for a hunting rifle but the trigger design makes it much safer than the Big Green trigger designs. Over all for a factory rifle Savage has another winner. [/QUOTE]
