Title: Factory savage chassis rifle?
Post by: BULLBLASTER on July 30, 2016, 07:08:19 PM: Was at a gun store today and saw a savage rifle in a factory chassis. It was a 308 and threaded muzzle. Seemed like a cool rifle. I can't find anything about them online. Anyone else seen one?

That in 6.5 would be a fun shooter

He shot all day, and at one point got into a weird situation where the groups opened up to about 6" and his poi changed almost a foot. we never figured out what had caused it, all of a sudden it settled back down and started shooting under moa again (at 100 yds)
