Best out of the box rifle out there. It use to be that savages had a horrible trigger and stock but the action and barrell were so strong that everyone just bought the gun replaced trigger and stock and shot lights out, now with the accutrigger when I bought mine it has the best factory trigger out there, I havn't test one of the new accustock rifles, but I'm assuming now they may have the best factory stock out there. All for one of the most affordable guns out there, if they were junk why did all the other companies scurry to come up with something more affordable that shot to compete with them? Any more they are even competing with the people that like to build their own custom just selling their actions as they are so solid and easy to change barrels in. That big nut on the back of the barrel might be "ugly" but that allows the average guy to change a barrel out. As you can see I'm a fanboy
