Found this in the article on shooting it.

"I wasn’t able to measure groups at the 100-yard line, but the view through the spotting scope confirmed that my 8.8-pound Impulse rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, and using Hornady’s excellent 140-grain ELD-Match ammunition, had no problem creating clover-leafed five-shot groups. But 100-yard groups are boring and only tell part of the story, so our next stop was a range with steel plates out to 1,400 yards. “Hit...hit...hit!” my spotter shouted out as I went three-for-three on a 3-inch plate at 700 yards. Not bad for a custom rifle with handloads—freaking outstanding for a factory rifle at half the price and shooting factory loads, and also a testament to FTW instructor Doug Prichard’s teaching and wind-calling abilities."

Sounds like it might shoot!!




Funny how things change....when I was a kid Savage was not considered a very good rifle.. Cheaply made.., poor triggers, not very accurate, etc.. but the last 20 years has really changed that..

The lightweight hunter I purchased and tried out last hunting season would do the same thing as you just described in the article.. it was shooting around .5" groups while cleaning between shots using factory ammo.. however it also has a Proof barrel.. SO..that changes things..

In the last few years I have picked up some rimfire truck guns.. 17HMR, 22 mags .. all Savage and all shoot incredibly well.. minute of gopher is no problem..
