huh??? the dogbones will blow out before the tranny does.. i have an savage 25 with a STS .28 with the savage x easy access 2 speed tranny and it handles it fine.. no problems.. a friend has the savage x 4.1 with an STS .30 with the same tranny as i do and he has no problems and he's hard on his truck.
