[QUOTE="jasonco, post: 1370835, member: 15637"] How is it "sloppy"? Just because it' not fully supported in the rear and has a floating forward lug set, and put good factory ammunition within a MOA, then when you put a proper handload down it, it' in the 1/2 MOA, then when you screw on an after-market tube of your chamber liking, squared up receiver, give lugs a little lapping love, it becomes a sub-MOA rifle, with little effort and the same attention to detail, that you can do in your shop/garage/work bench. I like my current and only Remington (2016 vintage) 300RUM Stainless LRH, but with every box of hand tuned rounds, gets me closer to a re-barrel into a XXX RUM. So I'l take the Savage Sloppy Seconds everyday and twice on range days. [/QUOTE]
