I haven't shot it yet,but, a friend has one & its Sweet! Almost no felt recoil & superb accuracy(he says 1/2 grps @ 100yds).They are going for $1050 up here in the frozen wasteland(Canada),I got this as a Savage demo for $850.Still amassing reload'n recipes to start experimenting with.Whoever is interested can check back in a few weeks to see what loads will work if you like?
