- Savage Target Action -- available undesignated from the factory & very stiff
- Broughton barrel -- 1:17 twist, 5 canted lands
I met Ronnie Long thru our mutual friend Robert Walker and Ronnie was one of the creators of the 30BR. Ronnie was interested in building IHMSA pistols and he agreed to chamber and barrel the pistol. There aren't many real Savage gunsmith's around but one of them is Nathaniel Lambeth up in North Carolina, Nat agreed to tune the action and rebuild the factory bolt (what a big difference that makes). Of course it's built to shoot in the only truly stable position - prone. And, being born and raised in Okla. it has a standard muzzle break.

I shoot 100gr Lapua "Cutting Edge" bullets over 31gr of H-4198 at around 3,300 ft/sec - zero clicks for Pigs or Turkeys and 4 clicks for half scale Rams (2"). No chicken damage, the bullet just evaporates.
