[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 829665, member: 52763"] I do! I just finished mounting a new Weaver 8-32x50mm on it a couple of weeks ago. I've been dealing with either a lot unseasonable rain or treacherous heat into the 90's with high humidity. Now rain is forecast for the next 5 days. Since it's 50 miles each way to the nearest range, I won't drive the distance hoping it won't be raining. That's an expensive trip if you can't shoot, so Im still waiting. This rifle was built in their custom shop. Mine is has the Dual Port, Left Load, Right Eject, Single Shot action. Mine's chambered for the 22-250 with the 1 in 9 twist. It also has a 6 fluted SS barrel, which is different than the Savage website shows with only 4-flutes. I also opted to get the laminated Bench Rest stock with a 3" wide beavertail. This stock looks much better than the photo on their website. The photo also shows 3 slots on each side of the fore stock beginning just about where the rifling begins. I was pleasantly surprised to discover it has another 6 slots on the bottom of the stock in the same lateral location. Sitting on sandbags it's rock solid. Weighs a tad over 14.5 lbs. with the scope mounted. It also has the AccuTrigger which can be adjusted to 6 ounces. I wished I could tell you how it shoots, but at the age of 72, it's not wise for an old fart like me to venture out for long periods of time in the heat we've had here lately. As an afterthought I wished I'd ordered it with a 28" barrel & a 1 in 8 or 1 in 7 twist. As it is, it'll be suitable for me to shoot up 2700 rounds of Hornady & Sierra bullets. [/QUOTE]
