[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1201516"] I bought one for my wife a few years ago in 7mm-08. It's a decent gun but here are my thoughts about it. 1. It weighs just over 6.2 pounds bare so definitely not in the sub 6 lb range like advertised. 2. Accuracy is decent but not great, I can get MOA at best. 3. After hunting with it for two seasons the stock is seriously losing it's finish. 4. Velocity with 140 grain bullets was 150 FPS below published max data. My advice would be to get a Tikka t3 lite. They weigh 6lbs with a 22.5 inch barrel and shoot 1/2 MOA or better all day. If you want to go really lite get a t3 superlite from Sportsmans Warehouse, they weigh 5.8 lbs, I have a 7mm rem mag with the 24.5 inch barrel and it weighs 6 lbs even and shoots **** near one hole groups! I really want to sell my savage and get another tikka, so if you are sold on the lightweight hunter I have on that I could make you a deal on... [/QUOTE]
