Sweet!
Got it today
I'm interested in getting one also. Wish they chambered it in 6mm creedmoor
Yea I definitely want the 8 twist so I can sling some heavies at coyotes way out there!The 243 cartridge gives up nothing to the 6mm creed. I really wanted a 243, but it is tough to find one with an 8 twist barrel - that is the only upside to the creed. I think this high country is 1:9.25
Thats exactly what my Bergara was purchased forYea I definitely want the 8 twist so I can sling some heavies at coyotes way out there!
I know.....dang....the 24 would "handier" too....that hawkeye is 11+ lbs and im not sure i want another heavy one.The beautiful thing about a Savage is you can get another barrel, a wrench, and a set of go/no go gauges and switch the caliber yourself. As long as it will fit and feed through the magazine.
I have a Rem varmint in 243 AI w/ 9.25 twist. It shoots the 105 gr. bullets very wellYea I definitely want the 8 twist so I can sling some heavies at coyotes way out there!
The new featherweight is 7# on the dot for a Magnum short action. Comparing a CRF action to a push feed in a synthetic stock isn't exactly apples to apples either. This rifle looks to be a Savage version on the kimber "open country" heavy sporter fluted, camo stock. They weigh 7#. I have nothing against this rifle at all, but for a niche looking mountain "high country" rifle, she's a lil heavy. I hope these rifles shoot great, they look nice. I just prefer a bit lighter. My 338 rum w/ 28" barrel weighs 8# w/o optics.Highdrum: Suggest you check the weight on some rifles. The pre-64 model 70 featherweight was just about 8 lbs without a scope. An 8 lb rifle is plenty light for mountain hunting.
