I ordered a Savage in 308 back in 96, pre accu-trigger 26 in target barrel, long action so if not up to my liking I was going to re-barrel in 300 Win Mag. No complaints with it. I'd not want to carry it on a stalk hunt anymore....heavy. It will out shoot me even if I do my part. My scope cost over 3 times what the rifle did. Nightforce scope the best scope I've ever owned still. I should have got second NF instead of ACOG. The scope base and rings cost almost as much as the rifle.
It's more accurate than the M24 I had in Army.
