I've never owned a gun like this in my life. I've always had the traditional bolt-actions to use while hunting.
This year, my brother and I took a week+ hunt to Colorado for elk where long-distance was a factor. My son suggested this rifle for me to use. Also, he suggested a Leupold 6.5x20 x 50 scope that cost more than I've ever paid for a gun, scope, case, ammo, and accessories.
Also, he said that a bi-pod would be necessary since the gun was too heavy to try and shoot while standing. (He was right - it's the heaviest gun I've ever had.) I'm very impressed with my purchase and this is why.
Our first day there, the guides accompanying us on our hunt helped us sight in our rifles to distances I've never shot before - 800-1000 yards.
hey were very knowledgeable on all the factors I've never thought about in making shots that long. They also gave us all the instruction on how to adjust the scopes for varying factors while in the field.
I learned more the first morning about this rifles capabilities than I had in all my years of hunting. The recoil was significantly less than expected and the gun was very stable to shoot from a bench and while prone. After a few hours of instruction and breathing disciplines, I was hitting the 800-yard marks... but it took more time for me to be patient and slow myself down to hit the longer marks. One of our guides took the rifle and adjusted the trigger down to a lower setting.
It made the gun very easy for me to stretch those shots out to the 1000-yard marks and hit consistently. My brother supplied the ammo, so I don't know all of the specifics involved with that. It was humbling and rewarding to be able to make shots like that.
Day two - we found a great spot on a hillside where the guide said that the opposite hill would have a high probability of game. He marked off certain locations for me to be able to gauge distances through my scope and commit adjustments.
We had great sight-lines and I felt comfortable in making those shots. Hours later, we saw a great 6x elk in a group and the guide gave me the instructions on what to do, since my anxiety went through the roof. He kept reminding me to slow down and breathe like he'd instructed me the previous day.
It took a minute, but I got my bearings back. I made my adjustments and took the shot. For the first time in my life, I took an elk at just over 850-yards with a crosswind of around 8-10 miles an hour.
It was an amazing feeling to be able to do this, since 48-hours previously, I would have never taken a shot like that. The guide cannot be thanked enough and the rifle is an awesome piece of equipment.
If you have any reservations about purchasing this rifle, don't be. It performs amazing right out of the box. I'm 74 years old and have hunted all of my life. And at my age, I am still learning new things about my favorite pastime.
This rifle helped me be able to do things I would have never thought possible. It's heavy - don't get me wrong - but, the weight is due to the heavy barrel that definitely aids in making long-shots and defeat some of the kickback from the caliber.
There's no doubt that taking the time to learn about the firearm and its capabilities was a benefit, as well as the many years I've spent hunting all sorts of game. I'm sure ammo was a determining factor, too.
But, it was a great purchase from the folks at Hinterland Outfitters that allowed me to enjoy one of the best hunts of my life.

I took this rifle to the range for the first time and was amazed at the quality Savage has put into it. It is a heavy rifle to begin with, but I added a little more weight to the front stock - the heavier the gun the less felt recoil. I was even more amazed at the inherent recoil, or lack thereof.
It feels somewhat like a 308, not at all unpleasant. The scope on mine is a Nightforce weighing about 24 oz so that too added weight. Again I was delighted to see that Savage uses 8/40 screws for the scope base as opposed to the smaller 6/48.
My first shots were only 100 yards, but the groups were excellent, about .25 MOA. I had loaded 30 rounds, 20 with H4832sc and 10 wit RL-22 all with 180 gn SMK. I cleaned the bore every five shots to break in the barrel. With this rifle I'm not sure that was necessary considering the size of the groups.
There is not much to dislike about this rifle. As with all guns I manage to find things that I'd improve. Note that I have this rifle in 308 so I wasn't totally unfamiliar with the 300 Win Mag.
One thing I would definitely improve is the recoil pad. It may as well be steel - it is nearly as hard, and too narrow. I have seen where some people are replacing it with a wider and softer one.
I'd like to see the stock a little more adjustable, that is a vertical adjustment on the butt plate.
Be very careful removing the stock. It is easy to strip the rear action screw. Don't ask how I know this.
Other than that I have found nothing to dislike. I would recommend it over any other factory rifle (exceptions for the extreme high end rifles) I've seen in this type of gun.
Dealing with Hinterland Outfitters was a pleasure as well. They did everything they said they would do.
