great commercial

I blame master Rick for introducing me to the wonders of Savage rifle. It'll be a hard pick between the Savage 110BA and Tikka T3x Tac (and Ruger RPR?) for best value

1 mile hit with factory rifle and factory ammo. No custom .375 cheytac load. Savage and Federal and Bushnell are under the same parent company, Vista, so I suspect we'll see some holy alliance between the three for a sub 0.5 MOA rifle-ammo-optic combo. My poor wallet....
2017 has been a great year for firearm pricing so far. Savage finally enters the AR world. The MSR recon, long range, etc. are heavy in values. Add Beretta APX and CZ P10c in pistol category, and the Europeans never drool so bad and liberal never cry so far

It's all Trump's fault!

agreed, on all points..

Awesome shot.

Additionally: The follow up video of the new Ruger & Savage rifles is also titillating,, for those of us on a more modest plan to "Reach out and Touch..."..

The video says it's a 338 Lupua,, Here is a web pic of both Lupua and Web 340, using 1/2" mild steel at 500 meters. The 338 holes are slightly smaller..

I'm guessing the target is at least 24inch,, so the 5 shot group,,

Between maybe minute of man and 10 inch??
