I have an OLD .270 with an OLD Tasco " high country" scope on it and it has only missed one deer... well........ I hit it...... I' m sure...... but after 2 hours of looking, we could not find it. Anyway its a pin pusher. Love it alot.

I had a .22-250 in the package gun and it shot great for the first 25-30 rounds and then had decreasing accuracy. (One piece of advise, Change out the Simmons Scope if thats what they are still using, mine was a piece.......) No fault of the guns workings, just the barrel didn' t like the heat. Would have been much better with a bull barrel. I would have changed it out, but I got a good deal on trade and took it.

I would say that if you aren' t shooting alot of round, you can not go wrong with the Savage in the regular barrel. Put' s any out of the box Rem 700 to shame

Vapodog is right about the triggers, they are terrible. I did get to shoot a accu-trigger gun from savage that was the proverbial cats A$$. Thats the way to go for the Varmit gun. 22-250 heavy barrel with the accu-trigger.
