You just described my day at the range the first time I shot it. I had a 3/8 group with that American Gunner from 100 yards too.

Hell yeah! I've always wanted to shoot one of those... I was hung up on the American flag rifle when it came out... I'm use to Savage's... I was afraid it would be too different.
Enjoy!
I always thought that I automatically liked weird guns. Thanks for showing me that I was wrong.
But it comes with a coozie!
I ain't paying $3K for a coozie.
Don't get me wrong. The technology seems good and the price is low compared to many competitors. Heck, I wouldn't throw it away if someone gave it to me. I might even grow to love it.
But, dadgum, it's ugly.
Although I don't really think it's ugly, I did look up the price myself. Out of my "can't do without" price range.

I want that beer glove!
I'm surprised they don't list it under the Swag tab on their web site. I guess you have to be special and actually buy a rifle.
The comments by TGT Members echo pretty much all the comments I heard from folks in the shop that saw it.
My thoughts on the rifle....
It does seem to be well engineered and built, although not my cup of tea. It is of light weight and short ( don't care for the 16 inch barrel). The action was very smooth with a very short 45 degree bolt throw...I did not try the trigger...not my gun...while innovative, I personally would not spend the asking price. Is it worth the price? To some the answer is definitely yes....

I've read a couple of tests and the web site and none of them identify (or at least I didn't see where they identified) the action. It looks similar to some benchrest actions but I'm not sure if that's the case or if it's something they make in-house.
Do you know whose action that is?
Thanks. I found another article that showed some closeups of the action and I was completely wrong. Despite the outward appearance, no benchrest action would have a bolt designed like that.
My dad owns a savage and it shoots great. I just can’t stand where the safety is

I’ve been wanting to add some type of leather “something” to one of my builds.
I came up with an idea for a magwell wrap and showed my template ideas to my buddy that does leather work.
I’m happy with the results.
