[QUOTE="BigGriz, post: 3079789, member: 88442"] I have a 280 ackley in the savage Ultralite. I hear you on the stock and the bolt is not smooth. However, it will flat shoot. The 22” barrel is perfect for my purposes. Being such a fan of the caliber, I have converted two buddies and set up rifles for them. One was a Christensen Traverse and the other was the x-bolt long range max. Both great rifles. X-bolt liked a 160 accubond which is what I shoot. Still tinkering with the traverse. Here is my opinion on those three rifles. The savage Ultralite from a value and utilitarian standpoint would be my choice for an all around hunting rig. The traverse with the 26” barrel is a great rifle if you plan to stretch out to longer ranges. If you want a dedicated long range rifle, the x-bolt was a pleasure to shoot with the recoil hawg and adjustable cheek piece. [/QUOTE]
