I just read a head to head test between Savage, Sako, Ruger and NEF. The Savage finished first, The NEF second, the Ruger third and the Sako fourth. All of course were darn good shooters but for the average guy to buy and for top notch accuracy, Savage would be at the top IMO. The Accu-trigger put the nail in the coffin lid for most other varmit rifles. The NEF Ultra Varmit is the king of low price varmits riflesand on average will shoot 1/2 inch or better. This for under 300.00 bucks.
