A couple buddies got them in .223 as both had heavy barrel Savages in the same caliber and wanted a lighter varmint rifle. One hasn't shot his much as the stock split at teh tang after just a few rounds and he just received the replacement from Savage. (He upgraded to the thumbhokle version for a small extra charge over the warranty.) The other guy has had his on 1 prairie dog trip, and shot the hell out of his.
