    My Savage Rifle (and some questions).

    It was just the break-in but I really enjoyed myself. I'm ready to get some more loaded up and give her a go. I really like the platform. I went through a few rifles before settling on this one, even a 5R. It would shoot the lights out but I need to be able to be my own armorer. I think...
