Damn I was right, was terrified I would be lynched if I called it a savage and was something else. Accutrigger, never seen them in that chamber though.
Good choice mate, you going to thrash it on Wednesday. And don't be put off by Rushys rifle, it can always be suppressed :thumbsup:
Savage 11 lightweight - 5.5lb from factory
@Tahr I remember ordering mine about the time you got yours :wtfsmilie:
I think Sportways still has a few on the shelf with their closing down sale.
Whats the retail on them?
I saw the American Model 14 in there yesterday, $600 odd down from $900 something. Don't recall seeing the lightweight hunter but wasn't really looking for another rifle.
Usually 1300ish, but Sportways listed one in .223 in their closing down catalogue at $950.
It's been tormenting me for weeks, but don't think the timing is quite right..
Someone else buy it if they still have it and tell us, so I can stop the "should I, shouldn't I"
Last week of their closing sale is this coming week.
If the weather is good enough then Wednesday will be the go with a good pair of earmuffs to protect me from Rushy. Will also tell me if the neighbours will complain about those canons being used so close.Quote:

Much nicer to be around too.Quote:

Very nice claw, cool to see a barnard action in a "hunting" rifle :thumbsup:
Are the holes on each side part of the diet or is becase you load from right hand side and eject left?
Part of the diet, but also handy for exactly what you describe when shooting prone

Solid
They're a good wee gun. I borrow the one we got for my sister quite often (when she's not around) and its a nice light gun to carry about in the scrub. They shoot pretty good too.
Excellent. I think you'll enjoy that Vortex :)
Nothing wrong with a Howa. And if there is you can just blame Toby
I'm still yet to sort my loads. Have all the stuff here but thanks to my normal places being next to duck shooting places I cant shoot :(
