This Lightweight Savage is the best of them. Light and portable, accurate, reliable and excellent trigger. Oh, and a slow twist barrel that I can load heavier projectiles for.

My .223 Sako 75 Stainless laminate does the same thing. But my .270 75 Finnlight flings the brass a mile.
I've looked at a strsinger ejection spring, but Brownells charge an arm and a leg for the factory springs/unit.
