Thread: Savage Lightweight Hunter

Good on you Striker, thanks for that.

Here's a blast from the past.
Can anyone give a hands on report of the stainless version of the Savage Lightweight?

I'm told the latest NZ Guns and Hunting mag has a test-fire of a 7-08 model. Haven't read it myself. How much weight you'd give a magazine review is up to you..

Thanks. Nick at NZ Guns is usually pretty good with his tests.

Someone on here must have one though. Its that first hand experience I'm looking for.

Great. What does it shoot like, and your general impressions? Have you got a suppressor on it?

Whats the synthetic stock like?

Hi Thar handloading 155 tmks 46gns 06h havnt chronyed them should be about 2750ish and shoots 3/4 3 shot @100 from bipod more than happy with that ,being lite is a bit lively shooting prone but dont notice it when hunting,plastic stock is adequate good recoil pad has a bit of flex if you twist it firmly but you are not going to be doing that hunting, bloody excellent trigger clean and crisp was a bit heavy for me cut 2 coils off spring now light as i like it mag basic plastic metal but works ok feeds good most of all good to carry round just on 7lb in hunting mode no suppressor not going there not that i dont like them just want to keep it light as i can dont mind a loud bang as if i get to shoot 1 shot in anger per hunt i am doing ok hope this helps Cheers Huk
