My handload for the Savage 16 LWH in 6.5 Creedmoor is with Hornady brass, Fed 210M, H4350 and Hornady 143 gr. ELD-X bullets 0.005” to 0.010” off the lands. I get sub MOA 3-shot groups from a cold pre-fouled barrel. It wears a bedded Savage LWH walnut stock painted in woodland tan duracoat. A very durable protective finish. The plastic bottom parts have been upgraded to metal. It’s my go to rifle in the wooded knobs and small fields of central Kentucky. I’ve also owned Savage LWH rifles in 260 and 7mm08. I never could get the Remington Model 7’s l owned in 308 or 260 to shoot as well as the Savage LWH. But that may have been the shooter learning how to shoot a lightweight rifle for consistent 3-shot groups.

Too bad Savage is discontinuing the Savage 11/111 LWH models with walnut stock.
