Great rifle. Any decent ammo will give you MOA at 100yds. My handloads are 1/2 MOA. I'd like to see this rifle with a faster twist, but it will shoot up to 175gr very well. I shoot mid range F Class and hold MOA at 600 with ease. I'm surprised that it likes 168 & 175 grain bullets better than the 155's, which was the reason for the slower twist (for Palma shooting). I have equally good results with Varget, IMR4064 and RL15. But it likes IMR4895 better than anything hands down. Purchase through Buds was seamless and fast. There must be a typo on the price listed, it's NOT $6543!

Best barrel I have ever had, including Shilen, Lilja and Kreiger. I just threw some 2.800 OAL loads together with some Varget, Fed 210 and 168 SMK for break in per Savage and it shot under 1/2 MOA for all the groups. Much fun to shoot and easy to load for.

This rifle is great! Shoots well right out of the box. I reload and while I was working up a load with the new rifle, the first groups were all 3/4 minute or less with most less than 1/2 minute at 100 yds. With my best load the rifle shoots 1 minute or less groups at 300 yds.

Bull Barrel significantly heavier than expected - purely for the long range target/sharp shooter.

I ordered 2 of these, one for a back up. They came in when expected and in good condition. They were exactly what I expected. Bud's made the process extremely easy. They will get more business from me in the future.

I have been competing in F class F/TR mid-range matches with other "tactical" 308 rifles that could not withstand the rigors of matches. This rifle is specifically designed for competitions. There was an immediate positive scoring increase throughout matches (2018 State Champion for my NRA classification). With a good optic (I use Vortex Viper HST) I'm also beginning to compete at Long Range-1000 yds accurately with this rifle. Very impressive out of the box and the action is very smooth. I haven't had/need any customization or upgrades. Basic maintenance is simple to complete.

Arrived on time and transfer went without a hitch. Overall the rifle arrived as described with a few exceptions. I noticed the stock was predrilled for a cheek pad, but a pad wasn't included. Turns out I don't need one to draw on my scope. Last, I needed to chase the threads on the predrilled and threaded screw holes on the receiver before I could mount my scope and base mounts. More of an inconvenience than anything. Haven't had a chance to do much else with it except site it in. Would recommend Buds to anyone.

I purchased my daughter the .223 version for NRA F-Class matches, I like it so much I bought this one. My scores have been over 98% accuracy at 300 and 600 yards. At 1000 yards, I have gone from 93% to 96%. It compete against custom rifle 3 times the price!

I love this gun, accurate as can be, solid as a rock. I can't wait till our club puts in a 600 yard range now that I have a gun that can accurately shoot that far. If you're looking for a long range target gun, you found it, buy it.

This rifle is just what I wanted. put a Nightforce base and rings on a Vortex Viper scope. With Federal Gold Medal 168 grain ammo shooting 1.5 inch at 300 yards, not bad for my 64 year old eyes!!

this rifle was everything I was expecting from savage first five rounds touching at 100 yards and at 200 yards less than 1in groups once this barrel is broken in and I tweek the loads this will be one very accurate rifle very mild recoil due to 18 lbs with f class bipod and scope sightron 10x50x60 egw low rings and a glades armory extended bolt handle this gun is worth every cent

just pick it up from my FFL dealer and they fell in love with it. I mounted a Sightron SIII 8-32x56 on Ken Farrell base and rings and just shot a 0.45 moa 5 shot group (measured 0.47 in) at 100 yards with shots 11-15 out of the bore. The deal went smoothly with Bud's Guns I could not be happier and now I have a great long range target rifle. Thank you Savage Arms and Bud's Guns!
