Thanks, Mojo. It has a dense and compact feel. It actually feels smaller than some rifles, but sorta heavy for it's size, just about right for this round. I would think maybe 7 3/4 to 8 pounds or so with scope. Inletting is perfect with no gaps anywhere. It's not the typical laminated Birch, but resin impregnated thru and thru. I'm not sure it even has a finish, just the resin impregnated, laminated wood which adds to the solid feel. The grip is smaller than a Remington or Winchester and the forearm is slimmer. Unique for sure and a very well crafted piece. Some things a bit weird, like the bolt engaging a milled out barrel extension. Why go to all that trouble? Must be harder to machine that than a standard action. If this method was cheaper, Savage would be using it... HA!
