Absolutely second this one.

I purchased a Savage 16 Light Weight Hunter the other day. They come in .308 at 5 lb 10 0z. They are stainless.


Have you shot it yet? I would like to hear your evaluation when you get a chance.


I have a stainless Savage lightweight in 223 and love it. I haven't had it long. One of the first loads I developed gave me a 3/4 inch 3 shot group. The trigger is great. The magazine latch is a bit cheesy, but it flat out works. $425 after the rebate (that is still going I believe) The gun is very well balanced. It feels good in the hand and on the shoulder. It's a bargain.
