Model 11/111 Lightweight Hunter

[Carvera]

Is there anyone out there with either one of these model rifles?

Anyone have any first hand knowledge, or possibly pictures of these guns?

The picture on the Savage Arms web site is accurate with regards to the appearance. The barrel is a 20" #1 contour. The DBM, frame and trigger guard are composite to save on weight. The recoil pad looks to be a 1" Parchmyr Decelerator. The action looks to be a Savage standard SA that has been skeletonized and the bolt fluted to cut weight. The finish is a blue matte. The stock appears to be walnut with a factory finish and simple checkering. If you like the fit and feel of a Remington Model 7, then you will like the Savage LW Hunter.

I am real interested in the 243 but with it being new, I would also like some 1st hand experience. Like groups and the such. If I don't find anyone, I may end up doing the max1 or the 11bth.
