Savage 116 left-hand in Realtree AP
I love my Savage 116. I purchased it new a few months ago. It has the new Accustock which is extremely rigid. It's the best factory synthetic stock around--hands down. I didn't like the seams that result from the injection molding process, so I sanded them down and sent my stock in to Dynamic Finishes who applied a the Realtree AP camo finish. It looks much nicer now (IMO). Yes, I think walnut looks the best, but I have nice guns. I wanted something different, something weather resistant, and something I'm only going to hunt with once or twice a year (although I'll be taking it to the range often). I live in a state that you can't hunt deer with rifles, so this is for when I go home to Upstate New York. Anyway, the trigger is excellent; the gun is very accurate; it has a jeweled bolt now; and the P.A.D. is quite effective. I have ordered a new recoil pad though. The other one is good, however, my screwdriver was a little too fat and I ended up twisting the rubber and making a mess of the thing. You have to use a very, very thin Phillips screw driver to take the pad off. I think the Sims Limbsaver I ordered looks a bit more high-end, but I'm not sure it's going to fit (after looking at the printable footprint). We'll see.
