I’m surprised that you even found two of them to try. They are out of stock everywhere! Mine comes in tomorrow so we will see. Fingers crossed that it’s dead center POI

The last one went for $410 (ironically ??) !!! 

Pretty easy way to double your money.

Bought first one at show it was off sent it back to Savage they sent the second one and its off now they want it back.
I wouldn't be in a hurry.  Their excuse was they are imported from CHINA :z-winnersmiley:

Again that's shooting off sandbags and factory and reloads its 20'' low every shot.

This is how I set up the sights on mine. Front sight is a hiviz low profile and rear sight is a truglo magnum gobble dot extreme mounted to the scop base mounting rib that’s under the base itself. Works great. I killed three birds with this set up this past year.
