I've never read one really negative comment by a Savage owner about how they shoot.
Some aren't really happy with the looks of a Savage, and some others have been less than thrilled with the synthetic stocks, but in terms of accuracy and reliability, they've got a reputation that Remington and Winchester would envy.
In fact, right now I'd love to find a left-handed Savage in .243.
