Does anyone own one? If so how do you like it? I am looking to buy one in 300WSM and am looking for some input from anyone that has one and whether or not they like it. It is a great looking rifle and since it is a savage, i am sure it will shoot. Thank's in advance for any input.

I have one in the 300 win mag. I really like the gun. Every one that has seen it and shot it are really impressed too. This is the first gun I have shot with a muzzlebrake. It is a bit on the noisy side but reduces the recoil to the equivalent of my 25-06. Makes it nicer to shoot that my 300wsm model 70. I didn't have any dies for it when I got it so I picked up two boxes of hornady 165 grain ammo. After getting it dialed in my last four shots at the range were @400 yds with a 3.25" group. 11-23-12 I used it to shoot a moving seven point whitetail @ 313 yards. The deers momentum carried it about twenty yards from the spot it was shot. I have only good things to say about the gun.
