RE: Cheap Savage
 

nksm, I am not disagreeing with your conclusions you wrote, I guess what Im trying to say is for 95% of the hunters in the US the 7mm is not greater or lesser of a gun than a 30-06. I have quite a few "deer caliber rifles" and on a 120-180 whitetail most people will not see a difference in any of them. I just get tired of reading people say gun A has more killing/stopping/knockdown power than gun B when the guns are both very similar. Lets take my 06 and my 7mm for example. I load 180 partitons in my 06 for when I go bear and boar hunting, and I load 140 BT in my 7mm for whitetails. I could switch gears and do the exact opposite, and load a 139gr in my 06 and a 160 partition in my 7mm and achieve the same goals.

Fair enough.

Back to topic please. I don't own a Savage but I am strongly considering purchasing one. I just put up a post looking for a review of the Accutrigger system. If I hear good reviews about it I will more than likely get one. The only drawback that I see from your sight post is that your looking at an outdated model. Just my 2 cent's worth.

I agree savage great action hate the stock . I have a 110 in 270 it loves 130 gr. fed premium boattails. 1.5 at 200 yd zero. I had trigger worked on and contacted savage and changed the plastic trigger gaurd. mounted a 3 x 9 burris fullfield with ballistic plex. I am going to replace stock with a better synthetic. I bought the rifle for under 300.00 new.
