Thread: Advice on a savge 223 wtb

For their price point, they go alright.....bloody good to be honest. I’ve got one here that’s taken 6 Tahr (kids and nanny’s), dozen or so deer and dozens of wallabies. Probably close to 150 or so. Add to the mix rabbits and hares, couple of cats and 7-8 sheep. Only had the trigger lightened, (cut a coil off the spring) and I can’t really fault it,only quirk is can get fussy how you set up for the shot. The stock is flimsier than others, so pays to hold it similarly shot to shot.
Shots tighter groups than a mates $2000 rifle. Not that I remind him of that very often.

in 223 got a mate with an axis, he's firmed up the stock, bedded the action, lightened the trigger and it shoots as well my model 12 savage which is a designated heavy weight paper punching rig. so impressed i've put my faith in savage and purchased a 223 savage storm lite as my main carry rifle. savage having pulled them apart, are a well engineered and the results are awesome, for the money, there is nothing wrong with a savage.
