I recently purchased the 6.5 Creedmoor version and this rifle is just amazing! The first day I shot it after a light break-in process I managed to shoot a .54 inch 3 shot group at 600 yards!

I wonder how that works since the MSRP on savage’s website is $149 over the allowed max MSRP according PRS rules for production class.
2.3.1 Production Division combined rifle and optic MSRP as listed on the company’s website shall not exceed $4,000USD, the rifle shall not exceed $2,000USD and the optic shall not exceed $2,000USD.
I’m really disappointed that they started sponsoring professional shooters in the production division. I thought the point of the production division was to create a friendly environment for entry level shooters to jump in and expand our sport.

Really SAD.
