That's interesting. I think Ruger did a run of their Compact Magnum rifles, ie. 20" barrel with open sights, and chambered them in .308. I had the can't helpits for one of them for a short while, but talked myself out of it.

Lots of folks aren't fans of the Savage bolt guns. I wasn't for a long time. I have one now that I won't part with. For a truck gun they make alot of sense.

It doesn't look that bad...for a Savage. I don't like the threaded barrel but we will see after I see one in person.

i see a crossover to the tactical market once they lose the irons and add a rail.
its got the right twist.

I think I like it.

$375 dealers cost. just got word.

I'd rather have the Savage Patrol Carbine .308

What is it that makes it a better hog rifle?

it says so on the box!!!

Interesting. I also like the Alaskan Brush Hunter. Similar, but 18" stainless and offered in 338 WM or 375 Ruger.

"I also like the Alaskan Brush Hunter. Similar, but 18" stainless and offered in 338 WM or 375 Ruger."

That's hot! I am finding myself getting excited and needing a new rifle! I too would go with the Patrol in .308.

"it says so on the box!!!"

That is funny, but marketing works!

i guess that its less than $450 and not avail in WSM's. you would have to remove the iron sights and add a 24" barrel then chamber it in 270WSM for it to be a "deer rifle".

I think if you lopped off the threaded portion, remove the rear buckhorn, and add a XS Ghost ring it would be quiet a handy little rifle.

Laffin.

Blue, there is a hog call built into the stock.

It looks like an inline muzzle loader...
Ya'll can have mine.

its dang near immpossible to keep a can in place without those threads.

.308 WCF the only chambering on this one?

I have two more better hog rifles. A scoped Win Mod 100 auto in .308, and an open sighted Rem Mod 81 Woodsmaster auto in .300 Sav. Real piggy rifles.

Lever/pump guns would be my second choice.

Yeah it won't be "quiet" with the threads lopped off but it would be "quite" handy. I should proof my posts better instead of just using a spell checker, but it was real early for me this morning and hadn�t had a full cup of coffee yet. If I was going to use a can for a "quiet" rifle, I'd have it rebarreled into a .300 Whisper or .300 AAC Blackout. 175-220 grain subsonic bullets with a can and night vision would turn it into a true pig thumper with more multiple kills possible.



No they make it in .223 Rem and .338 Win as well . I think they could have used a better stock than that Stevens 200 plastic stock though. I guess I was a little ahead of Savage when I built this three years ago, 6x47 Rem Stevens 200 with a 20� barrel has a SSS competition trigger instead of the Accutrigger however plus the longer bolt handle makes it easier to grab and work the action in a hurry.

Can you remove the call and fill the stock with corn, Kool-aid and diesel?

THAT would be a hog rifle. Dump out your stock, back up twenty yards and wait.

im guessing that part of the reason for the 1:10 twist is to stabalize heavies.
10.6gn Trail Boss bullet + 190 SMK
MV 1055fps
FOOPM!

That would work! However, for the guy who is buying ammunition the Blackout would be cheaper to buy. The ammunition is about 1/2 price the .308 Subsonic stuff.

yeah but the savage blackout is $800+ and only in the 20".

now i'd take a 527CZ or a NEF in the blackout today.

i cant get any love for the micro 7. too takticool.

give me a plain-jane miniX action and a 300ACC 16.5" threaded BBL dropped in a woodland Mcmillan and a 1.5-5 VX3...

WOOF!

Midway says they will get 300 blk barrels for Savage from ER Shaw in June. Less than $150.

Damn it!

It would hold more allure were it left-handed and with a stainless barreled action. Basically it looks like a response to Ruger's short-barreled rifle. It might be even better were it in 358 Winchester or 338 Federal.

I still say theres no sense in buying a 300BLK in an action thats the same length as a 308.
How many nonreloaders are going to play with a caliber like a 300BLK?
make me a micro action WITHOUT a 90 degree bolt lift and integral scope mounts like the CZ/DALEY/MAUSER in 300. Med profile, 16" threaded BBL and a detatchable mini or AR mag.

Mossberg MVR would be a good start for a build.
The CZ loses points because the bolt lift is so high your going to beat the chit out of any scope with the bolt handle on any thing not jacked up 2" off the action.

The truth is that NO company is going to produce a true mini action for the 223, 7.62x39 and 300 BLK when thats the only 3 calibers they caan make the rifle in and sell.

And no body short of someone with too much money to play with is going to waste time and money to build a 30 caliber short in an action that already fits a 30 caliber Med.
The round is cool, no doubt. Great idea for the black rifle.
But unless someone unearths a assload of sako vixen actions I'm relegated to the sideline on it.
And I have wanted one since inception, I just cant get love for the waste factor of the build.

I think the 338 Fed would make more sense. I guess the tea leaves say the 338 fed is too obscure.

They are importing the Mini rifles again, perhaps if you get on them they may start chambering the 300 for you? I would buy one too.

I have a mini rifle that I never shoot which has been tempting me for a rebarrel. The darn thing is so accurate I can bear it though.

They made a few of these in 8X57MM Mauser caliber.

Uhm... Hello! It is in the name!

How 'bout a mini-mauser in 35 Rem? Sounds sweet to me. A 250gr RN at 1050 aught to poke piggies plenty.

Interesting. Love the Savages and made my longest hog kill with an old, old 110. 413 yards.
I have three of the inexpensive Stevens that I have for "hog" rifles. The "extra 2" of barrels has never been an issue.
Amazingly accurate, dependable and effective.
Two .270s. And a .223 One I have restocked to a lefty stock.
The other 2 are painted for grins and have never failed me.

Good luck in your search.

Neat idea, except for the threaded barrel, IMO

But no 358 Win.

.358 Win would be cool!

Savage dropped the .300 BLK because of accuracy problems.

Who the [bleep] would want to own that ugly POS rifle?
