I'm thinking that I recently read a review on that rifle. Of my preferences it was likely in either: Shooting Times, Rifle, American Rifleman or RifleShooter. All of my Savages have been great shooters.

I have the 6.5 PRC and haven't made any adjustments other than adding a muzzle brake. It shoots sub MOA at 200 yards with factory Hornady ammo.

I got my boy one for Christmas hope it will be a shooter as well. I have been scouring the internet looking for a hinged floor plate conversion with no results. any ideas.
I actually worded the original post wrong. I wasn't looking into them i actually had one on order and was just curious to the results people are getting while I waited on mine. And the wait is over because mine arrived yesterday evening at my FFL. I like the looks and feel now time to see if it shoots. Also, noticed that mine weighs in at 6.1lb straight out of the box so it really isn't much lighter than most other Tupperware stock hunting rifles.

The 28 nosler and 280 ai that I have loaded for where both accurate, however that was the slowest 280 ai I have ever seen. Tried powders from rl16 to h1000 and everything inbetween. 210s and 215 primers. Settled on 160 tmk going around 2850 FPS. My buddy loves his rifle but I couldn't justify that kinda speed from a 280 ai if it was mine.
That 22in barrel is what turned me away from the 280ai

I have one in 280AI and it shoots 3/4 inch groups with a couple of factory loads.
I have a 6.5 PRC the factory stocks are Tupperware. I put mine in a high country stock from savage ittook a little work but was well worth it in a long run. Shoots 156 bergers and H1000 very good 5 shot group under 1/2 in.

I have one in6.5 PRC and left the stock alone and it shoots 146 eld match 3 shot group with RL26 at .318" stock could definitely be better but it still shoots great out to 920 yards!

Let us know how it goes. I'm on the fence between 6.5 prc and 280ai for one of these

I got one in .308 to celebrate my new job.
Two one hole groups at 50 yards while sighting in and another at 100 that I could hardly tell two bullets went in. First 6 shots with factory 150ttsx. I keep telling myself to just go buy it all but I know the voice on the other shoulder telling me to load some Hammers up will win this winter haha.
Great problems to have.
Will defiantly be adding the .280 and thinking about the .300wsm as well.

Thats what I'm talking about!
Out of curiosity what steps did you follow on the barrel break in? Just mount and scope and shoot it or shoot-clean and repeat for X amount of times
