I am thinking about buying a savage 16FHSS in 300 wsm. Does anybody have any opinions about this gun or just savage guns in general?

You will probably get a ton of opinions on Savage rifles - most of them positive. As for this rifle, I have a 116FLSS (the L stands for lefty) in 30-06 as well as 4 other Savages. With the right loads, every one of them will shoot sub MOA if I do my part. They may not be the prettiest girl at the dance but they are well worth the $.

I recently purchased a 16FSS in .243 and topped it off with a Mueller tactical scope. I'm happy with it. Haven't really got a chance to shoot it yet, but I'm happy with the build quality and what not. I have had other Savages in the past and I was perfectly pleased with them, normally pretty accurate out of the box, especially for the money.

I have weather warrior model in 06, it shoots factory ammo at about 1.5" groups.
The accutrigger is a plus especially in a rifle at this price. I am happy with the rifle and have recommended it to a friend who is also pleased.

I've had onein 30-06for about 10 years so its pretty old didnt have the new trigger or anything. I replaced the stock and the trigger to the new accutrigger. And its my most accurate rifle.

I never found savage rifles all too appealing, though I've heard good things, like nice quality for the price....shoots well, etc....

I just think they look pretty plain, simple, etc....

And my view on a rifle isn't "good value for the price" I want something that looks nice/great, and shoots great too. If that means it's not a great value? then so be it, I'd rather pay a fair/ok price for something awesome, then to save a buck and get a deal of a rifle.

So really, its what kind of rifle are you looking for? just a rifle to shoot/functions? then sure, check them out.

If you want more than just a rifle that shoots/looks ok, there are many others out there to consider.

Here is my older 116fhss in a .300wm .I took that pathitic fiber stock off and put on this laminated one from midway for $149.00.It willshoot aboput 1"moa with factory ammo and just a tad better with my reloads.

Not sure why anyone wouldn't think that Savage doesn't make any guns that look good. 114 American Classic 300 wm.

that's the best looking one I've seen, nice wood.

Thank you. It is kind of a hybrid in a ways. It is a 114 American Classic but with the hinged floorplate, Monte Carlo stock and open sights which normally the American Classic comes standard with none of those features. I bought the gun at a Cabela's in Gonzales, Louisana and Savage told me it was a special order for Cabela's. For whatever reason Cabela's wanted the American Classics but with a hinged floorplate instead of detachable box magazine, open sights instead of no sights and a Monte Carlo stock instead of it's normal straight stock.
