One thing for sure, the Stags can shoot. I took my Varminter .223 to the range to sight in with some left over ammo loaded with Berger bullets. Had two different loads, both with different powders. Thought I would just use it up to sight in the scope. Both loads shot around .30-.35 at 100 yards. Came home from the range and listed my two Savage varmint rifles for sale.
Like all rifles it is easier to shoot the "opposite side" version from the bench. By this I mean a right handed bolt is easier for a lefty to bench because the loading port is easier to reach. I will gladly put up with a little inconvenience to insure nothing will come back and hit me in the face or eyes.
