Rock regarding the trigger I much prefer a standard trigger over the Accutrigger. They are great on the range but I don't like them during hunting situations especially when I have to take a running shot (please no flak on that. I only do it when I know I can make a clean shot.). There are companies out there like MCarbo that make a simple upgrade for Savage rifles that take about 10 mins to install and make the trigger simply beautiful.
Original OP asked about the Savage 220 to which I responded. If a straight walled cartridge were allowed I would go with a 350 Legend or 375 Win or 45-70 but that wasn't the question.
