I have one in .308, but havn't fired it yet. I tripped into one of those "granny only drove her 1970 454 Chevelle to church on Sunday" deals last week, and still can't believe I have it unfired from the factory. The guilt is strangely satisfying! :) But yea, the fluted bolt and barrel and build are sweet, and not having to instantly go out and buy a chassis is nice. I am still working on getting used to the camo pattern and chocolate colored barreled action. It bothers me that there is a stainless action under there!....

I watched a couple videos on them when it first came out. Then i realized the weight of that sucker is anything but a "high country" rifle. And, in my opinion, I wouldn't spend $1k on any Savage rifle. I own three that do what they are meant to do. But cost way south of $1k bills.

I also have a new ultralite in 6.5 PRC and the light weight proof barrel alone makes it worth the money in my eyes. Very pleased with both the new more expensive savages I have purchased. This puts me at 9 Savage bolt guns and one savage AR. By far like the high country and ultralite over the 10 tactical and several 10,16 and axis I have.
I agree! I have had 6 other Savage rifles and most were Axis, or older 10/110's. I paid $550 for this 308 High Country....so at 1/2 price, I will buy em'all day!
