Does anyone have any experience with these rifles?

On paper this rifle looks just about perfect for my wife. Decent street price, the stock spacer can reduce the LOP for her, and lower recoil while still handling a higher BC bullet for the distances that we can shoot on our land.

However, from the limited gun magazine reviews on this, I am noticing that the heavier bullets like the 90gr SMKs are producing HUGE groups for the editors, while the 60-75gr bullets are producing the tightest groups. Did savage get the twist rate wrong?
