I'm waiting for the 6.5 CM hunter to hit the shelves. .22 plinkster did a review on the base model in 5.56 but other than that there's not a whole lot of useful information out there.

I know the .308/6.5 variants use proprietary upper/lower dimensions, so the receiver and BCG are not compatible with other AR10 pattern products. Also the monolithic rail interface is proprietary, so AR10 rail systems are also not compatible.
The only real good thing I can say about them is they have a 5R barrel. |

Looks a lot like Aero Precisions proprietary system.

Has anyone actually handled one of these? Savage says they have a good trigger...and they look like side chargers.

The shorter "hunter" variant in 308 and 6.5cm, and the two 5.56 variants, are not side chargers. Word on the street is the big caliber variants will start hitting the shelves in April. |

I just bought a 556 Recon for my first AR. It feels good in the hand, but I haven't shot it yet. They did put a little extra flourishing on the lower around the mag well. The BAD lever I got to try out and see if I liked doesn't work because of the extra material. I'm not an expert on ARs, but the rest of it looks standard. Rear flip up sight sucks something awful though. First time I released the bolt the latch that holds it down broke and went flying off. Seems like a hell of a rifle for the price, can't wait to see how it shoots.

Klaustrophobia, sorry to hear of your woes....I would be very interested in your accuracy experiences.
Every report I have read about the new Savage AR's has raved about the accuracy from their in house barrels. And the small groups back it up. If I was in the market for AR15 / AR10... The Savage AR's would be right at the top of the list. I would love to try one. Honestly, if someone wanted a recommendation for a AR.... at this point I would suggest the Savage. Yes, it is more money then less expensive AR's .... but it offers much better out of the box accuracy. Reliable, accurate, cost effective.... Sometimes, you can have the best of everything. |

So I saw one this weekend at the range.
Well made, no issues.... and it was quite accurate with all the ammo he fired. Certainly more accurate then a run of the mill AR. At 100yds with Superformance 53gr his 5 shot groups were about 1.25 MOA... and IMHO, that group could be tightened up if he had been using a better rest. |
