My old neighbor had that exact rifle in 308. Its a heavy sumbitch, recoil felt like a my AR. It shot very well. Would hate to take it for a long walk though.

NICEEEE!! If that Savage shoots as well as the main line rifles they make (no doubt it will
 ) you will have a hell of a LR setup for a decent price. NightForce scope mount?

Let us know how she shoots when you can . I've been staring at the 2011 catalog and Savage's web site for weeks now wondering what they would be like .Congrats on a beautiful piece !! My Nesika project . Been on the back burner for over a year now . RB-LP , M model action , single shot in 338 Lapua Ackley Improved , 32" Krieger pipe, .364 neck , smithed by Sid Goodling 
My intentions are to have the barrel turned down a bit and fluted by Sid , and probably have the action set up as a repeater and machined to take AI mags . I want to mill a billet , barrel-block stock for her very similar to the factory Savage you have . Time will tell . |

I got rid of all mine, due to my 650 yard limited range. Probably my favorite round of all time, but silly to load/shoot it when 308 is just as effective (on paper targets, anyway) at my range.
I had a couple GA Precision's in 338 Lap and a TRG42. All were spectacularly accurate, and fun to shoot. Especially with a can. I miss them, but not the cost of reloading them. (Over twice the amount of powder per round as 308 and the projo's were more expensive too. And brass, badly) |

I find it odd, that the TRG-42 is not that accurate up to 300 meters, but somehow it becomes very accurate from 300 meters up to about 1000 meters that I've shot it. |
