Hey Collective Savage Wisdom,

First off, Happy New Year!

Secondly, due to a Christmas raise (they still have them on occasion!) I got myself a new toy... A Savage Lightweight Hunter in 7mm-08. The plan is for a lightweight rifle to carry when stalking deer and elk in Oregon, and occasional bragging-level target group. I have a set of Talley aluminum rings on order, and a gently-used Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x36 in the garage... somewhere...

Does anyone have any experience with this rifle? Any accuracy issues or pro's? Any recommendations?

Happy 2015, may it bring you tight groups and plenty of tasty game animals!
