I had a HS on my long action and it was the best Savage rifle I put together. I had a Proof prefit in 7 mag on it with a Sav 2 trigger. It shot just as well as my other rifles. Just was missing the finer points of discerning tastes, lol. I put the barrel on a Nucleus action and sold it to a buddy. Groups were identical to my ugly lovable Savage.It's in a Keystone (similar to a Boyds sporter style) that I want to move another action into. This is for a .338 RUM build. I forgot HS makes a LA stock.
Honestly, the GRS look is appealing simply because it is weird. Its like seeing liver on a menu in a restaurant. If it's on there, its good or they wouldn't bother. I suspect that stock is really easy to get behind.
