does anyone own one of these varmint rifles ? HOW DOES IT PERFORM? roger

The word out of savage is they are a $ loser and may not be in the line-up too much longer. They provide decent accuracy but not at the level of their short and long conventional actions.

I bought one a few months back but wasn't able to shoot it until recently. I've put it on paper @ fifty yards it will shoot .3 to .5 five shot groups (I wiggle a lot). 45gr rem bullets 12.5gr Lil'gun. I have also danced small objects @ 200 yards(public range - don't like to go down to set targets). Overall pretty happy for the money. Did have to make a shim support for the back of the reciever. It kind of floats on the stock. If you overtighen the rear screw the bolt will bind and not slide smoothly. I mic'd the gap and made up a shim (measured a small stack of washers) and snugged it up. Going to play with cast bullets next.

I have one, It shoots Like a Savage. I am putting it up for sale I just shot it a little "about 50 rounds" and got bored with it.
I got the 204 fever so if anyone wants it, it comes with lee dies 100 new in the bag Winchester cases and a Barska 6-20x50 scope.
$450.00 Shipped. It is in 99.999% condition and has been bedded.

If Savage were to offer a model that takes the old Model 340 magazine, I think that they'd sell a bunch of rifles.

Amen, Chop901, for that matter, why not just bring back the Model 340? I loved mine in .22 Hornet, and it would do half an inch at 100 yards all day. Shot 13 Woodchucks with it one afternoon in 1971 or 2. That little gun was amazing, and when I restocked it with a Cherrywood stock people began to mistake it for a Sako! Loved the 340.

Should have made the gun with a mag that you could put 4 rounds in. It would haved sold better.

Hell I wish someone would build a good hornet or a bee in a LH repeater.
