Just ordered my first Savage a Haymaker in 450 Bushmaster. Not a lot of information out there about them so I'm going off the older Wolverine. The only big difference I can see is the Zero MOA scope rail. I've always read that Savage is the best out of box rifle you can buy. Any information you can pass on will be greatly appreciated.
I can't comment on the "haymaker" never having owned one but can comment on the Bushmaster cartridge having built one earlier this year on an Axis action. The Bushmaster is a real 'thumper" of a cartridge and will do the job out to 200 yards with the right bullets. I have hand loaded 400 grain JSP 45-70 bullets that I resized to .452" and was able to push them to 1600 fps from my 16" barrel with 16" twist.
