[QUOTE="Oldtime Shooter13, post: 1959014, member: 109503"] I have a LRH 111 in 7mm Rem Mag and I love this rifle. It isn’t pretty, but I am not one for pretty as much I am performance. I would buy a LRH in 280AI in a second if I was not totally invested in 7mm Rem Mag (brass and reloading). I also have a 114 American Classic 7mm Rem Mag. This one I could not refuse when it came out in 2005. DBM was a plus and this model is a beautiful Savage production of a fine rifle. Both 7mm mags shoot exceptionally well right out of the box. Now for the rest of my savage experience. Additional Savage rifles in my safe are a customized 12FV 6.5 Creedmoor and a newly purchased 10T in 6 Creedmoor that I have not yet fired. I have owned 12FV in 243 Winchester that was an extremely accurate once Tupperware stock was replaced with Choate aluminum block bedded stock. Like everything I have owned the thrill is in the build and making accurate. Then someone usually wants the rifle more than I want to keep it? I have installed Choate Tactical stock on the 12FV on my current 6.5 Creedmoor. Creedmoor shoots .7MOA without much effort, but accuracy wise my 243 was much more accurate easily shooting .25 MOA. I am finding 6.5 Creedmoor a little more finicky to load for. If Savage made a 1:7.5 or 8 Twist 243 Winchester, I would own one in a heartbeat over any of the Creedmoor’s, but that would kill the reason to own a Creedmoor. I am in hopes that the investment in the 6 Creedmoor gives me the accuracy of my old 243 Win, Savage 6 Creedmoor is 1:7.7 twist to shoot the 6mm heavy’s. [/QUOTE]
