The 6.8 is an excellent performer on deer size game. Lots of hunting bullets in the appropriate weight for the cartridge too.

It's a perfect round for recoil sensitive hunters and a great choice for youth hunters. It needs to be in a bolt gun...and someday it will happen again.

Im not a Savage fan, but the Lady Hunter is a perfect platform for the cartridge -- shorter LOP and a raised cheek piece to help get shooters properly behind the scope.


I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
