    Best savage .223 bolt action?

    I have been thinking about purchasing a savage rifle as a gift. I am not personally experienced with savage rifles but have heard nothing but great things.

    A few things I learned while working on my Savage bolt

    I have been doing a lot of dry fire on my rifle and I noticed that the extractor wasn't working well on the "A-zoom" .308 Win snap caps. I haven't had a chance to take it to the range yet so testing it with live ammo hasn't been an option. I did some research and found that a lot of people...

Does anyone have any experience with the Savage 11 Long Range Hunter? I want to get 308 because of ammo prices, but if 308 won't cut it...
