Great rifle. Everything good that you've read or heard about it is true. It shot great with lots of ammo. Even the Thunderbolts. I tried about 30 28 kinds of ammo. Different brands, weights, velocities. At first, I settled on the C.C.I. green tag. The next time I shot the rifle with the green tag ammo I noticed that the accuracy was not consistent at all. I know it wasn't the rifle because I could hear the sound of the round changing from one round to the next. I was very disappointed with that outcome. I tried it again on another occasion and same results. Tried another variety of ammo and found the C.C.I. select 40 grain to work great. Very consistent and very accurate.



This rifle is a blast to shoot. It has become my favorite. I've wanted one of those for a long time but kept putting it off. I should NOT have done that. At 50 yards, it's boring. At 75 yards, it's boring. At 100 yards, a little less boring due to the wind factor. I was hitting 3/4 inch targets from 75 yards away with boring regularity. At 50 yards, well, I almost started to pick off flies. But, they weren't bothering me, so, live and let live.



Don't let the plastic stock bother you. It shoots great with it. If it does bother you, order a wooden one from Savage. I plan on doing that only because I want to reward that rifle for its great accuracy. It will be merely cosmetic, mind you. Anyone who takes away ratings stars for its plastic stock is doing this rifle a disservice. You buy a rifle for its accuracy. Nothing more. Nothing less. That's how I see it. This is such a good rifle, I am seriously thinking of getting another.
