I second that, my Savage Model 111 .300 Win Mag loves the Federal PowerShok ammo, it shoots about 3/4" at 100 yards with the 180 Gr. PowerShok.

I've had excellent luck with my Savage 110. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I have a model 110, and a 111. Both are serious tack drivers and touch holes all day at 100yd. Savages may not be the prettiest rifles but man they sure do shoot.

If you want a cheap tack driver, Savage is your gun. Savage has been known for yrs for being one the most accurate bolt action rifles made. If you want a pretty gun, your afraid to bang around or drop. You better look else where. I own 2 Savage rifles, and wouldn't trade them for any other brand. You can't beat the accuracy of their bolts.

Savages are great rifles and at $339 with sscope, I don't know how you can go wrong. While this isn't their best gun, it will shoot as well as almost anything you can buy. Heck a better scope might cut groups a lot and reduce hassle.

This gun is the same as the Stevens.

Savage are excellent; I've had two. Stevens is same, but diff stock and NO ACCUTRIGGER. I'd pass on 7mm mag, nothing that a 30-06 can't do cheaper & with less noise/recoil.

I agree with you about the 7mm Mag, it has almost identical ballistics to the 30-06, and it is smaller!!! I don't like the 7mm mag cartridge, and never will.

Great gun, not so great scope/mounting system. I have the exact gun you are looking at and about 3 boxes of shells into it I noticed from the recoil of the 7mm it actually bent the screws that mount the rings to the bases. After $50 in Leupold mounting hardware and a $125 Simmons Aetec my gun is absolutley incredible. I would look to see if you can get one without the scope and save a few dollars.

Care to give some explaination to this statement using facts????
