I can’t tell from the action, but the stock is not the old or A1 TRG style.

It’s a distinctive style, but I couldn’t find anything similar in a general search.

I’d go with a TRG too.

Savage has been doing brisk business in Ukraine:

Savage crossed my mind when I thought I saw the release tab* on the trigger, but it wasn’t clear enough to be sure; should have checked their site.

It looks like an Accuracy International ACMX in .338 Lapua, but with a different AI rear stock.

The stock and the contour at the bottom of the magwell are both identical to the Savage AXIS II Precision. Plus, what I always find distinctive about the AI, even in different chassis, is the swept back bolt handle with a rather thin stem to the ball. That was something I looked for in the video, and her rifle doesn’t have it.

I just noticed that both rifles resting on bipods are left handed.

The image in the Youtube thumbnail was flipped.

They're standard right-handed rifles.

AI has a squared off receiver. The one in the video is tubular.



And not REALLY what you'd call hard evidence, but she says "I really love American weapons" as she starts unpacking her rifles. Big Grin

I'm sure the article RogueJSK linked to is correct in saying that there are people using bolt actions from a lot of other makers - talk about a brilliant excuse to get that Sako you've always wanted! But if Savage is as popular as it seems to be, then I'm a bit surprised that it hasn't made a little more noise about its rifles in Ukraine.

Didn't spot it right of, but you can see the Savage name on the bolt (even though it's not clear).

Interesting video as I have a Savage 110. Here is what she looks like today after I took that miserable plastic factory stock off and added a scope.

Based on the logo, I'd say it's the Blurry 900 model. Wink

Ring any bells?



I thought for a second it might be the Pulsar long, but it doesn't look like enough letters.
