Savage HS 308 24 5R?

[ifixplanes]

Does anyone have any experience with this rifle? I'm fond of the 11.25 twist barrel on a factory rifle. I've heard (and read) good things about their (Savage) accuracy and are bored to death with rimmy,rimmy,rimmy. I currently have a FN PBR w/ the 16" barrel.I'm looking for something with a longer barrel. Also looking at a FN SPR but this Savage is half the price.
And before some smartass says anything about use of the search function....I tried.

I wanted the HS rifle but couldn't find one locally. I had shot my brothers model 10FP-LE and loved it. We were out pawn hopping one day and I happened across a 10FP-LE2 with a 26" heavy barrel and synthetic cheap factory stock. To say it will out shoot me is a big understatement. The rifle is great. Granted I have not had it a month yet and just threw a cheap scope I had on it to go to the range I'm happy with it so far.

I think I was looking for the model 10FCP HS-P 5R.
