A year ago, I reviewed the Savage Model 11 LightweightHunter in 7mm-08, a rifle that proved to be easy to carry, handsome and aneffortless MOA shooter. It is one of the most enjoyable hunting guns I own andhas since become one of my personal favorites. At the time, Savage V-P BrianHerrick mentioned that the Lightweight Hunter and the newly introduced Hornady6.5 Creedmoor cartridge made a superbly satisfying combination. It has taken meabout a year, but it is finally time to discover exactly what Mr. Herrick wastalking about.

The Savage Model 11 Lightweight Hunter platform relies onstandard 4140 chrome-moly steel, no exotic or temperamental metals to machine.The folks at Savage looked at aggressive profiling of the receiver, a deeplyfluted bolt and removal of extraneous walnut from the stock to accomplish theimpressive weight reduction. Savage has categorized the Lightweight Hunter intotheir “Specialty Series” lineup.
The modern classic style, standard grade, American blackwalnut stock comes with a straight, fluted comb. It carries four panel, machinecut checkering in a point pattern. There are eight ventilating/lightening slotscut into the underside of the forend. There is a cap on the pistol grip and asolid (not ventilated) recoil pad terminates the butt. Detachable sling swivelstuds are provided. Except for the slots cut into the bottom of the forend,this stock is functional and should appeal to experienced hunters and shooters.

I've had impressive results from the Hornady Superformance ammunitionline in general and the Hornady GMX bullet specifically, so I opted to testwith the Hornady 120 grain GMX Superformance load: a .450 G1 B.C. load Hornady ratesat 3010 fps MV from a 24' test barrel. You can expect perhaps 2900 fpsfrom the Savage's attenuated 20' barrel.
On went a Bushnell Elite 3200 3-10x40mm scope with WarneMaxima medium height, quick release rings. Then it was off to the field to getsome shooting results.
At 100 yards, right out the box, on a breezy Illinois summerafternoon, the Savage produced ¾', three-shot groups at 100 yards. Afterthe 100 yard shooting, the elevation knob on the scope was not touched. I onlyturned the windage knob two 1/4 MOA clicks to the right. I shot at 177 yardsand then 205 yards, both to verify the accuracy at longer range and to get anidea of how the 6.5 Creedmoor's exterior ballistics held up in terms of drop.
Shooting farther than two football fields seems like a longdistance, and it is. Although it might take a while to find the 205 yard targetacross a bean field, I want “minute of coyote” level of accuracy at thisdistance, a typical shot for coyotes running a fence row. Given the 8-10'kill zone of a whitetail, the Savage Model 11 / 6.5 Creedmoor combo producedmuch tighter groups than needed, about 1-3/4' CTC at 205 yards. Every shotI took was in the instant kill zone, both impressive and confidence-inspiringfrom a lightweight, sporter barreled rifle.

Hornady feels their new 6.5 Creedmoor is quite appropriatefor everything inclusive of moose and elk. Claiming almost 1600 ft. lbs. ofkinetic energy at 300 yards from a 24' barrel with a 140 grain bullet (SD.287), I see no reason to disagree. (They are undoubtedly correct, as the6.5x55mm SE has been doing it with virtually identical ballistics forabout 116 years! -Editor)
Launch a 140 grain spitzer bullet at 2700 fps, zeroed to put the bullet 2.7' above thepoint of aim at 100 yards, and the maximum point blank range (+/- 3') isabout 265 yards. If you hold the crosswire of your scope level with theanimal's back, you can stretch the 6.5mm Creedmoor into a reasonable 300 yard huntingcartridge. Ballistically, the 6.5mm Creedmoor is a 6.5x55 SE clone in a shorter but fatter case, as a glance at Hornady's published ballistics for both cartridges will verify.
On the functionality side, the Savage Accu-Trigger as suppliedbroke at a crisp 3.2 pounds. This is close to perfect for a hunting rifle and Ifelt no need to adjust it. The Savage center-feed, detachable box magazine iseasy to load, locks into place easily and fed perfectly.
Movie maker 3.3.0 full. I'd characterize the recoil as moderate. It is a noisy load,in part due to the 20' barrel. However, after shooting 60 rounds throughthis rifle in a short time, I didn't feel like I had done a lot of shooting, despitewearing just a thin shirt, as you might expect on an 85-degree July afternoon.Brian Herrick was right, this gun and this cartridge combine to make for an immenselysatisfying combination.
My 84 years young father, perhaps still a bit delirious fromcelebrating his 61st wedding anniversary, commented that hunting rifles don't needto be nearly this accurate. Dad can stick with that one if he likes, butwhether shooting a long range coyote off a hedge row or dropping a 300 yardpronghorn buck, it is highly desirable, confidence-inspiring and usable. If hemeans there are scant little excuses for poor shot placement, well, yes . . .Savage and Hornady have combined here to make excuses hard to find. The SavageModel 11 Lightweight Hunter is an outstanding hunting rifle and I can't thinkof any hunter who wouldn't enjoy carrying and using this firearm. Sometimes,really good combinations find each other and this is one of those rare examples.
