I used to be a die hard Remington 700 shooter until I got the chance to shoot my son's Savage in 300WSM and his buddy's Savage in 338 Lapua at the Williamsport 1000 yard range. I was extremely impressed by the accuracy of both rifles. Both are bone stock and all three of us were hitting clay pigeons
tossed on the berm behind the 1000 yard targets, and his buddy isn't even that good of a shot (sorry Will). When I got the opportunity to pick up a Savage action to do a 6BR build I was all over it. I've been checking out a 6BR forum and some posters seem to go out of their way to trash Savage. From their comments I doubt they have ever shot one, so I can't figure out what they have against Savage. All I can come up with is they are ticked off because someone's Savage that was built in a guy's reloading room for $1200 can equal their $3000 full blown custom. Any ideas?
