That's why God gave us the 7-08.
Sheesh... I gotta point out everything around here.

Nah, God shoots a .275 Rigby. Pfffttt. Even little tiny baby Jesus has more sense than that. I'm sure God knows a thing or two about twist rates and cartridge selection. Travis

I have lots of fun with my Salvage rifles, 5 rifles and 14 or 15 barrels from 22-250 to 416 Taylor. A couple Savages I've left alone and shot as is. It's my duty to test a bunch of cartridges or I'll lose my Loonie Card. Buying a barrel and a set of dies rather than another rifle each time I get the itch for something new has always made sense to me. I personally prefer the Stainless rifles and have 2 in 260rem but as has been stated they aren't cheap anymore.

4th.Point - ref: groups w/ .375 Ruger. Considering the rounds power and the lite-weight of the Savage my hats off to you for shooting those smallish groups. Homesteader That thing had some kick with the 260gr NAB at 2900 fps. In fact the lock-ring on the Leupold scope would not stay tight Had that sucker cranked as tight as I could by hand. Even tried using a strap wrench and it just spun. I had to use a little blue Loc-tite on the threads. One of the techs at Leupold had some ideas but the Loc-tite did the trick. Jason

I have owned them and they were accurate, but that is where the good stopped.
Every one I've been around has had feeding issues and some of the newest ones are so rough I thought I was breaking something when I ran the bolt.
They ain't exactly cheap any more either.
Travis I agree with the price. Lots a budget combos for little money, but if you want the Accustock/Accutrigger they are $700+ around here. Seems a bit high. Somewhat hard to find too. I think there are more people looking for a lower price point. A couple stores here have also decided to stop selling the Ruger Hawkeyes due to cost. Seen a few on closeout for $550 in stainless/synthetic. They were originally selling for $700+. Jason

Picked up a Cabela's exclusive Savage 10-T in .308 yesterday.
It came stock with some crazy looking tactical shifter, a picatinny rail, the accu-stock, accu-trigger, DBM magazine with constraints at 3.10ish, in a 10 twist heavy-weight contour finished at 24".
Time will tell I guess, but for $550 it seemed like and awful lot of gun for a guy wanting to dabble in long(er) ranges.

4th. Point - you know you've had a session with a kicker when you chew aspirin like salted peanuts. Perhaps their stock design needs a bit of tweakin' Homesteader.
