I got this 223 Savage with a rebate a couple years ago for a nice deal. It has always been a great shooter, didn't like the stock so I did a checkered Walnut Boyds......they do good work. I recently had it cut and crowned at 20 inches with the intention of getting a youth stock from Savage for my son. I put the action back in the stock, torqued it to 30 in/lbs and took it to the range to test it. Still likes 23.5 of H322 with a 50 grain Vmax. A 20 inch bolt rifle is a pretty nice balance.
