Anyone used or heard reliable reports of this gun?

I only have one concern remaining, and that is that it sounds like replacing the barrel isn't something that is going to happen because it is supposed to go back to the factory and be replaced there at great expense. So I guess the thing to do would be to select a cartridge that gives long barrel life.

Savage owners have the luxury of being able to change over their barrels without metalwork in 15 minutes in their own garage! The special equipment involved is limited to a holder that goes in a vice and a particular spanner.Sal said:Barrel change is as easily done as on anything else.
