Hello there friends! I'm looking to get a new rifle when I move back to the states (currently live in Germany) in a few months. I've been looking mainly at bolt actions in .308 Winchester. I have my sights set (no pun intended) on this gun. Anybody have any experience with this model?

I understand Savage makes a good product. Is this also a good rifle? I think it looks neat and I like how it take AICS box magazines. It's weight doesn't concern me: this will be used for target shooting and recreation. To me it looks like a solid and versatile option but I can't seem to find a lot of info about it on the web.

Thanks!

I bought one in 308 late last summer. Nice trigger, though I've heard some folks don't like the accutrigger. Heavy as you said. I added a Harris bipod, but unfortunately tried to save some money on the scope, so I need to buy and cry again on that item.

I enjoy shooting it and I'm sure I'll enjoy it more with a good scope.

I ran the Savage tactical in .308 for years. It was heavy but it shot very well. It generally shot 1/2 but it occasionally turned out low .300s.
