[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 990382, member: 74902"] I have an AB1. I love the 3 lug short through and carry weight but the rest I am not fond of. It is a 1987 model in stainless steel. The barrel is hammer forged and walks so bad that it is difficult to ever get a sighted in and a good load worked up. It is an 7mm Mag with a 26" pencil barrel. My longest kill with it was 340 yards and I start not to trust it after about 250. The trigger is heavy and I know of no good upgrades to the trigger. Yes, Timney has the lower pull weight springs for it but they really don't do much for it. I would recommend the Savage Weather Warrior in what ever caliber he chooses. We all know what can be done with them if the factory rifle doesn't meet expectations. I have one in 25-06 and it is wonderful. I use the AB1 as a carry elk rifle for 250 and under. [/QUOTE]
