The primary extraction would seem good based on the design, but it doesn't seem like it's executed well, if at all. The 700 is no better.

The actions are ugly to me, but pre-fit barrels are readily available. Definitely appeal to the DIY dudes.


Good post. I was out shooting my stevens 200 22-250 today and this is what she did. Just about have the load narrowed down too:

My $384.00 Savage 12fv creedmoor shoots alright for a rough bore rifle whistle

Hell, I might just buy one of those cabela's 10 T-SR, just to try out a good one with 5R rifling... wink
