If I had to lay money down on a bet and accuracy was the key, It would be bet on the Savage. I wouldn't bet on anything against the Savage. It would be a good way to loose your money. That includes the ones that guarantee accuracy in writing. From the box from gun to gun, Savage is tough to beet. As I stated before, A little tinkering with the Magazine spring has always cured feedin problems IF any problem exists. I like Rugers but Savage will ksot likely out shoot them on average.
