I was curious if any one has had any dealing with the Savage Long Range Hunter in 6.5x.284 NORMA? Any ups or downs to mention about the rifle or caliber. What about hunting big game in North America. Looking at distance, (300 to 600 yards), with knock down power, with the least amount of felt recoil, to avoid recoil flinch.

Here is a link for Savage to ward off any confusion. Click Centerfire and find the model listing.
