I just got one in 204 a couple days ago. Shot it a little. Was getting horizontal spread. 27.6 grains of H4895 39 gr sierra. 3780 fps. About 3/4 inch groups. Hope it was from the wind. I am waiting for better conditions. Windy today too in ND. I love the design of the stock. Also the small diameter short action. It weighs 9 1/2 pounds scoped. Nice weight. A couple things I don't like is the heavy bolt lift caused the the sixty degree bolt lift and a loud click as the bolt closes. It is from the detent. Any way of quieting it down? I put a new Nikon 4 to 16, side focus, BDC reticle on it. It is the thumbhole. I cut down the inside of the magazine with dremel tool so it feeds single shot by just throwing in the case. Ordered another one from Savage so I can use it as a repeater if I seat the bullets in far enough. Has to be seated to 2.300. $12.00 plus $5.00 shipping.

I'd kinda like a closer look at the bolt/lockup system before I get too worked up, but from here, so far, it looks like a nice working rifle that should give good service for most stuff.
Go slow on working up loads, I've seen a Model 40 Hornet get pretty antsy with what are really modest loads, so be aware of that, and take it easy working up your loads.
