I made the same face as your outlet behind it, very nice!

Something I've been wondering for a while is what is the twist on the outside of the barrel for? Is it just for show? It just reminds me of weird rifling for the outside of the barrel.
2
It decreases total mass, making it lighter. Some people also claim that the extra surface area can help the barrel cool down faster, which makes sense to me, but I'm not sure how much that can really help. It also looks really cool. Further reading.

Thanks for the follow up!

Does the target stock really make a difference?

I've never shot any of the others. The stock so far is... ok. It feels small to me, but not uncomfortable. I may switch it out with the TSR stock at some point, but I like this one enough for now.
That thick stainless barrel, though... It's a thing of beauty.

I always imagined those stocks would be perfect for offhand shooting.

I've been shooting prone and sitting so far. It's great for those so far

I love my savage rifle, and i've noticed too that my stock seems short (not really an issue...), but i've got a standard one, not the target version.

It is a .22, so that could just be what they were going for.

Accutrigger Savages are so beautifully accurate. Now they are beautiful too. Nice stick.
1
It surprised me how easy it is to have no red, lots of black and just enough green on any shoot-n-c out to 50 yards. I'm working on getting the same results out to 100.
1
Even their older, non-accutrigger guns drive tacks. Same with their modern Axis/Edge rifles and their Stevens 200's.

Man I love those Savage triggers. Accu-trigger I think its called.
1
That it is. Pretty nice, too. I may need to play around with the weights, as it's adjustable, but it's very nice right out of the box.

It's got a Harris bi-pod with a pod lock and a BSA 4-14x40 mil-mil scope. It's a tack driver at 50 yards with CCI minimags.
