RE: Savage Model 16
Bought a model 16 in 270 wsm back in December. First thing I did was remove the Simmons scope and cheap rings/bases. Replaced it with a Bushnell Elite 3200 mounted in Leupold rings and bases. So far I am very impressed with the rifle and the scope for that matter! Put about 40 rounds through it so far and it is grouping around 1". The accu trigger is an excellent factory trigger...although it does take some getting used to. I think if I can find the right load it will definately be a sub moa rifle.
My only complaint is that the synthetic stock is a little too flimsy for my tastes. I will probably replace it in a couple of years with a laminate or a better quality synthetic. It is definately a rifle I plan to keep.
