Was wondering everbody's opinon, good or bad, aboutSavage AccuTrigger. I am also curious how well there muzzlebreak works also. i am leaning towards purchasing A savage 16FCSAK probaby in 7MM WSM. Seems like really good value for the money. How accurate are these guns?

I really like the savage accutrigger. The muzzlebreak works well but I would not get another one with a muzzle break. I had awinchester 7mm rem mag that had the boss on it. It made my ears ring when I had plugs under muffs. shure it did not kick but it caused damage to my ears (now I cant hear my blinkers in my truck

) now I allways use game ears in the field. By getting a muzzle break. I traded my hearing for less recoil.[&o]

The AT is GREAT. I have two of them (MLII and a 22/250) and LOVE em both. I personally don't see the need for the brake on only a shortmag. The 7wsm IS a good caliber but I wouldn't recommend it too anyone simply because it is DEAD!!! The 300 and 270 WSMs have taken off like gang busters but the 7WSM is "DOA" and several gun makers are now dropping it and you notice Rem picked up the 270 and 300WSM but NOT the 7... that is for a reason! I look for ammo makers to continue to shortchange the 7WSM in their offerings as well.

Some things you just don't understand why they work while others fail?

The 7MM WSM is dead where I live too. From what I read, its main fault is that the longer bullets like the 175 grainers must be seated to deep to function and rob powder space in the case. With the lighter bullets it is the equal of the 7MM Rem Mag but with heavy bullets, it falls well short. Anyway the 270 and 300 WSM are alive and well.

I have a model 16 in 270 wsm. The accu-trigger works well and the gun is fun to shoot. I agree with Red Allison on the muzzlebrake and your choice of caliber. The recoil on my gun is comparable to a 30-06.....just a little sharper is the way I describe it. It is definately not a problem to shoot, so I really don't think you would need a brake. When I bought mine I considered the 7mm wsm but the ammo was harder to find and a few local dealers steered me towards the 270 or 300 wsm. My local Wal Mart carries multiple offerings for the 300 and 270 wsm but none for the 7mm. I would highly recommend the Savage rifle and I will not hesitate to buy another in the future.
