This is my first post, great forum. I want to know if anyone has shot this rifle and what is your opinion . I am not a competitive shooter,but target shoot twice a week.I wanted to have a custom built in this caliber but can't swing it any time soon. Enter the Savage. I have heard good things about them, is this rifle a good base to turn into a semi custom 1000 rounds from now or should I save my money. Thanks Steve.

Steve, I have one of the 12F-class rifles and it shoots extremely well for a factory rifle. I shot a group around .300 while breaking in my barrel and have shot several groups slightly less than that since. With a little time working with loads, I'm sure it will do better. I just have not had the time to devote to it. In fact, I have so little time anymore that I am thinking about selling it. Bill

billmo, that's what I was hoping to hear, its defiantly a shooter. I know what you mean about no time, I cut my hours back last year to a forty hour week, now I have time and little money.You cant win. Let me know if you want to sell that rifle I would be interested.

I understand all about the time and money thing. If you got one the other is MIA for sure. Actually, I have been talking to a member here on the forum about selling the rifle to him but if for some reason we don't make a deal I will certainly let you know first. I had plans to build a custom rifle but the way my time is now I don't know if I will or not. Not enough hours in day sometimes. Bill
