"If you walk down the firing line of F-Class competitions, the overwhelming majority of what you see will be out-of-the-box Savages or modified Savages, or true custom rifles built on the Savage action"
100% pure lie

I wonder how much Savage paid him to write that lie?
Yeah, I'd have to call BS on that one too.
At many of the F-class matches I go to (and I get around more than most) there are either rifles built off of custom actions i.e. Borden, BAT, Kelbly, Defiance, Bernard, etc. or rifles built using Savage actions, whether out of the box, modified or complete builds. A few Remingtons, usually reworked to some degree. Almost no Browning, CZ, Howa, Winchester, etc. Occasionally you might see a Ruger RPR... usually not more than once, as the gun just isn't set up for F-class.
If you change the venue to PRS, you see a lot more variety... particularly more RPR, more Tikka, and more re-worked Rem 700s (apparently nobody likes those things in stock form - just kidding )
But yeah, that kind of statement from a publisher makes me wonder how much he actually gets around to matches.
Maybe...

You know I have a Wilson barrel setting in my safe, that is chambered in 6mm/250 improved. I've had it on two 112's (the very early C/M action) and a 12BVSS-s action. All three rifles shot .25" five shot groups. One of the 112 actions has been in a lathe for a minor (as in very minor) touch up. The other two are as delivered. The same three rifles with the turd barrel shot anywhere from high ones to a very low threes with a 22-250 barrel. By the way, three different barrels! One of the barrels has so many bullets thru it that I set it back and recrowned it.Just because you hate the looks of a Savage action and wouldn't do it. Doesn't mean that people who like Savage actions shouldn't do it.
