Recently when @timber listed his Savage Light weight hunter chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor for sale, i couldnt resist. 4-5 years ago my father and I handled one of these little Savages while over at the Sika show, and it made an impression.
It was a package deal, rifle with Talley lightweight rings, Weaver Super slam 2-10, reloading dies, 40 new Hornady brass, all at what i thought was a very fair price. I knew it had some history, but had apparently been sorted.
Well first impressions, is its a neat little thing, being a little different in design etc, with the slotted underside of the fore-end, and the machined out action all to reduce the weight, looks pretty neat too imo.
I wasted no time mounting the scope, and loading up some ammo to test. I had a couple of boxes of the berger 130gr VLD's that i was keen to try, (i just couldnt get them to shoot in my Mod 7 260 rem). Loaded up some test loads, and off to the range.
Being reasonably light, it is quite a lively rifle to shoot and you really need to hang onto it. Its only a 130gr pill doing around 2800, but it must be due to the low weight it sure jumps about.
Still got more fine tuning to do, but its showing some promise....
With the high BC of the 130 VLD, even at 2800 fps it still holds 1000 ft lbs to 675 yards, quite unreal for a little case and a 130 gr pill.
Looking forward to the first deer with it now.
