Hey guys and girls I need your imput. Today at a local pawn shop I found a used savage model 116FSS for $459.00, then I went to the local Walmart and the have a nib savage 110FXP for $384. The weather warrior has a simmons scope on it the I will replace soon. I live in Florida and the weather here makes me want a stainles barrel. On the other hand the rifle is used and Im not sure how the owner treated it. Now the 110FXP is new and it also has a scope that I will be replacing before deer season starts. Both rifles have accu-trigger. What gun would you choose and why? ???

Better if it was the FCSS with the AccuStock, but why is it there ???

Definitely the 116FCSS

Well the place is a gun shop and a pawn shop. I asked the one of the guys who works there if he knew why they person sold the gun to them. The person trades in because he wanted short action. The rifle was a christmas present. But I will pick up the rifle and change the stock when I get funds to do so. I have til Novemeber to make my changes. Thanks for the response.

I wish it was a 116FCSS. It is a FSS but I will pick it up and change the stock. Thanks for the response.

.270 or .30-06 - you can't go wrong with either one.

Fair price for used, as long as you get a shooter ?!

Thanks for the reply Sheridan. It is a .270. I wont know if its a shooter until I buy it. When I first looked at it I thought it was new and when I asked the guy at the store he told me it was used. Then I could see little signs of it being used like the tips of the recoil pad had slight use but other than the it looks really good.

I picked up a brand new 11FCNS for about the same price in a .243 the gun shoots ridiculously accurate. always the first gun i grab since i bought it.

The model 16 is the best choice. I bought one new in .300WSM and I love it. You will love the accu-trigger as well. Set it around 2.75 to 3.0 lbs. for hunting.

I have heard nothing but great things about accu-trigger. I have only shot one savage rifle and it was a stevens 308, so I an excited. I have a question though. Since the rifle is used how will I know what the trigger lbs are. Will I have to take the trigger back up and then bring it down or is there some sort of gauge that tells me where the trigger is set at?
