Savage Model 11 lightweight Hunter

[osteodoc08]

While my search for a Winchester Lightweight has ended up in a goose egg locally, there was a used Savage Model 11 Lightweight Hunter up for sale. I think they were asking $625. It was unique, super quick to the shoulder, and the lightest rifle I've ever shouldered. Has anyone shot these? How's the accuracy, reliability, etc? It is to be used as a primary lightweight rifle. Caliber 7mm-08.

A good choice at a great price*.
Suggested retail is now over $800.

A few days ago there was a thread by dmr2400 called "Savage lightweight hunter", where you will find several comments and a detailed review.

* Now I see you were looking at a used model, so I will withdraw my comment on price.
