Surgeon Scalpel 308

[AfghanDM]

A coworker picked one up from EuroOptic a year ago but never shot it. I might pick it up from him...
Anyone actually have one?
Looking for a real eval/thoughts before buying.
Thanks in advance!

Our SWAT team uses Surgeon sniper rifles. Not sure if its the Scalpel but its a 308 in an AI chassis. Very accurate rifles and Ive not heard them say a single negative thing about them.

I have several Surgeon built rifles and they all shoot extremely well. I'm sure this would be no different.

They rarely come up for sale (actual scalpel builds from surgeon) on the used market. To me that says something.

They are quite a bit pricey new for what they are, but shoot very well.

I will take a Surgeon action over anything out there.

Surgeon 591 actions just work

I had one built years ago and it was a hammer, now it is wearing a 6.5 SLR barrel from WTO now. The action has 9000 rounds on it and it is butter smooth

My 6.5 PRC is being built on a Surgeon WSM action. Any day now lol!

I've shot several at the NRA World Shooting Championships - very well made and very accurate. However, I think you're paying extra for the name. Wound up getting an AI AT that cost a bit less than a Scalpel.
