I've got a left port, right eject in 223. Trigger is "wow" Don't know what its set for and I haven't touched it. Good for 6 to 12 ounces.
Accuracy is pretty damn good with Hornady Varmint Express. Winchester white box stuff not so good. I've got miscellaneous boxes of match ammo to try in it.
Gun is in the 12lbs range. Single shot.
I look forward to buying a few more Savages.

At 200 meters I had 3 of 5 shots touching. Not sure if my scope is acting up, but I know the wind didn't help.
Don't sell this one too quickly unless the previous owner buggered the barrel.

I have a RBLP 22-250. It started out a little worse than expected, but I have it punching consistent sub 1/2moa at 100 yards with 75gr bergers, 50gr varmint grenades, and shot 4 consecutive 5 shot groups under .3 with federal premium 40gr BT. For the cash outlay it's hard to beat the accuracy you get out of the savage single shots. They may not equal a tuned target rifle, but that is comparing apples to oranges.
Here is 5 berger VLD at 100

The rifle has been bedded, and a few other minor spots touched up. When I first got the rifle the bedding block was only touching a small point near the rear action bolt on the port side, and a thin line along the bolt side. The middle action screw was also touching the bedding block and was almost impossible to put back in as the hole was so far out of alignment. And the front of the bolt handle contacted the stock when the bolt was down. It didn't take a lot of work to drill out the action screw holes bigger, relieve the high spots, and dremel out the stock. I also skim bedded the action out to 1" in front of the barrel nut. That sounds a lot worse than it was, since it only took me about an hour of work, and the set time for the devcon.
It does shoot very well now. I went out and flattened a few gophers on Sunday, the furthest shot I made was 372 yards. I am going to take her out to the range this weekend and see what it will do at 500, and maybe a bit further.

I sure am excited to get this rifle...any other comments?
Just that you are a lucky SOB and dont sell it too quick!
Have fun at the range with this one!!!Just that you are a lucky SOB and dont sell it too quick!
I will, man...I have already sold my 700SPS Tactical...can you believe it?
Which model of Savage .308 did you buy again? I think I'll have to get me one of those.I got the lucky pick of a Precision Carbine but I think this new rifle of yours will shoot better! Have fun with it and post some targets
Ah yes, I remember now...I sure will post pics and targets.
