And this is so important because? What will end up happening is you will be kicking yourself in the butt for selling your Savage. The Handi' s shoot well, but they are not target rifles. I get 1" groups at 100 yards out of my 45/70 and about 1.5" out of the 243. Savage makes rifles chambered in 7mm-08 Rem, but if I couldn' t afford one I would keep the 30-06. Nothing against the H&Rs, but they aren' t a Savage.
