You like to hear yourself talk so answer my question.

OK Robinhood , A dollar to a dough nut hole says that if you invested $ 3500.00 to $4500.00 w/ optics for your wife's PRS rifle, you both would say "yes dear that will be fine" when she says," It's getting kinda hot at the range and I think I'll make plans to go to the mall or go to lunch with the girls, you don't mind do you ? there are plenty of people that can spot for you.

I did build her one. She passed away last year but she never got into it like I had hoped she would. She was left eye dominant and right handed. But she hung out with me at the range even when it was near 100 down here on the coast. She read her books while I did my thing. We were best friends and the priority was usually the grand kids with her. She never was a mall girl and didn't hang out with the girls except on a painting night every now and then at one of the "girls" houses. We spent pretty much all of our time together with just a few exceptions. She wasn't very much like your image of women so sorry to disappoint you, donuts for you. Shoot, I was rambling again.

If you go back to my profile page there is an ignore button. Click it. You will not be burdened with all of my hot air after that.

WOW, you have two 6.5 CM's,a 7mm-08, a 308,and a 22 CM ALL on 10 BA Stealth actions,and using OME Mags. OH Wait, you are using something totally different and after market mags . Apples to apples

Well,Dark Eagle mags are factory Savage magazines with a custom made extension that holds 10 rounds. They work with the factory bottom metal.

I also saw the video on backfire and was a little surprised. I didn't realize it was a new age creedmoor type cartridge issue. Guess I know now why my experience has been different.

Other issue with this video is they have a 750 price point but choose a rifle missing many of the features savage offers at this price point. I'm not sure if this is even a true accustock. Then they complain about a lot of the features of the model like the bull barrel and call it a target rifle. Weren't they the ones who chose the model???

The rifle in the video was a special run for a specific distributor/big box store. This is pretty common with Savage, and one of my complaints with them as it just creates confusion for their customers when they can't find it on Savage's website.

If a distributor/big box store is willing to place a large enough order (say 500 units), Savage will build them whatever they want based on their spec's so long as it consists of "off the shelf" regular production parts. Often times these "special run" models will be just like the one in the video where it's pretty much a cheaper version of an existing model minus some features to get a lower price point and/or to get them in calibers that aren't regularly offered in that model. In this case it looks like a 110 Hog Hunter stock with some black webbing sprayed on it, a 110 Tactical barrel and bolt handle, and a very budget muzzle brake. The non AccuFit stock, Axis style magazine and cheap break are the cost cutting measures.

So for example (a ridiculous one), say some big distributor in the midwest thought there was enough demand/interest in a Savage 110 Elite Precision in .350 Legend, they could call up Savage and they'd be happy to make it for them so long as the order was for enough units to justify doing it.

I'm starting to get a pretty good picture of why your wife wants to go to the mall instead of to the range with you.

Yeah. I just dont understand if they have a 750 budget why they are buying a 500 dollar savage with apparently features they didn't want. Seems like all of their issues other than ejection could have been solved by ordering another model and maybe spending a little bit more.

$750 must be the MSRP as Sportsman's Warehouse is selling them for $519.99.
