"Tactical" and "Sniper" rifles have long been the mainstay of the Precision Rifle forum. It's nto the "Benchrest and F-Class" forum so stop being pissy and get back to discussing the rifle itself.
I don't believe it's an issue of "sniper rifles" not belonging to a "Percision Rifle" forum, nor has it been presented as such in the context of this thread.
In regards to the S.I.Q. (Savage in Quesion)
If one were to look at this specific model OBJECTIVELY without bringing brand loyalties into your argument, it wouldn't take long to come to the conclusion that the HS & McMillan stocked rifles are more suitable in a law enforcement environment than the "New!" model being offered.
Don't believe me? Then ask for opinions on some of the more advanced websites that specialize in field shooting and tactical rifles. The commentary you will receive there will be far more colourful than anything you will encounter here.
