[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1080378, member: 70559"] I don't think I am biased toward the Mark V for no reason. I have a two Savages. a Klienguenther, a custom and a Mark V. Along the way I loaded for three Mark v's. The first was a .340 that would regularly fire 3/4" groups with 210 Partitions running 3,212 feet per second. The second was a 7 Wea Mag. I could put five Nosler 150 Ballistic Tip in a 1" group at 100 yards and five of my home made 140's into 1/2" groups[B]!![/B] The third was a .340 and the best I could do with it was 1 1/8" for three shots. My son-in-law put three into 1" and would not fire it anymore. Then I purchased a .257 Wea for myself. After one season I sold it because it was too heavy and purchased the Mark V Ultra Light .25-06; which is the Mark V mentioned above. I rebarreled it and while working up a load fired three three shot groups on one target. The "group" measured .8". I didn't fool with anymore workup. The small Mark V action weighs only 26 ounces.
