got a Savage .223 varmint last week and had it out at the range yesterday.
This is the stainless / laminated thumbhole stock / 26 inch heavy barrel version. Thought I would give it a quick review.
Very heavy rifle. lenght of pull not easy to adjust but not hard to do either, it suits me as is but would not be hard to unscrew the pad and add or remove spacers. I like the feel of the stock. Has the accutrigger which I set on minimum pull weight, I would prefer lighter but it is a good trigger as is. Build quality is typical Savage, not flash but not crap. It is 1:9 twist which suits 55 grain projectiles.
My initial groups after roughly setting up the scope were not great, around 1 inch. I then changed my style slightly and held it slightly more firmly to get more consistent recoil and the groups came down to less than half an inch at 100 meters. these were 3 shot groups. Best was 3/8 ths of an inch at 100 meters using factory Hornady V-max 55 grain, I am sure I could have got better with this ammo if I had shot a few more groups.
I was using cheap ammo to start sighting in and the result was very bad, then tried less than 20 rounds with the Federal matchking 65 grain and groups were very similar to the Hornady though lower on the target of course, shot less than 20 Hornady and stopped once I had got the 3/8 ths group.
This might not be everyones choice of rifle but I will not be taking mine back. I am no great shot but I must say I am very impressed with this rifles accuracy.
must be a slow news day today,

Yeah... Shipping containers are blowing up all the time when shipped through the port of Tauranga. Erma are using their regular claptrap and bullshit for some reason here. It arrives, gets checked oveer by customs and trucked straight to the distributors' storage facility, just like any other container.
Gunpowder and safety class ammunition are not an issue.

I live in Denver.I have a Smith and Wesson 5 shot 357 Magnum($350 US new).It's cute as a button.I brought it for protection because when I was married I had a remote cabin in the mountains.Lots of bears and mountain lions.Where it might not kill a bear outright,it is light and easy to carry.And I figured a high grain hollow point 357 round is gonna slow it down some.A bonus is you can shoot 38 rounds out of it(same diameter,much cheaper)at the range.Here with a current ID,any ID.You can go to the range and hire pretty much any hand gun and have a go,unsupervised.They have had 1 suicide at a range in the 16 years I've been here.
I should of said that i am origonally from Tauranga.Been away 21 years.The gun shows over here blow your mind.A friend of mine brought the same gun the swat guys use,a semi auto machine gun/pistol at one recently,complete with folding stock and laser sights.$600.I am kinda tempted to buy a piece of exotic kit,but would rather spend the bucks on the Aprilia.
Welcome to KB!
A Canadian chap I worked with, some years ago, carried something similar when he was out in the wilderness. Just for bears and I think it had a 2" barrel. I would have hated to fire it with a factory load...
The shows that are put on in Colorado sound great!
