mike...Why don't you get a 25-06 barrel for the Encore? ACCURATE...I took a chuck at 503 yards with my Encore...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Which Varmint Gun to buy
IMHO. Both are good brands to buy. The Savage is not as pretty [some people say ?] , as a Remington?????????? The Savage was or is,a low cost gun,but will keep up or out shoot the others . The 22-250 is a very good round and highly adaptable.
The trigers,on both,can be adjusted,enough to make them very shootable.
220 Swift ????????
Get what you desire and you will be very happy.

I can't give any input on the Savage as I have never owned one.
However I do own a Rem 700VS and it's very accurate.
I would pick the 22-250, but there's nothing wrong with the swift.

I really hadnt thought about the ruger but it is a nice gun I like guns with adjustable triggers and savage is comming out wit the acu trigger in 2003 for the heavy barrel and varmint rifles you can adjust it from 1.5 to 6 lbs i believe it comes with a special tool to do this.

RE: Which Varmint Gun to buy
I was looking at the rem 700 vs but went with the ruger. 22-250 was my choice as well. great round. I am considering the savage for a 7-08. Look back aways, lot's of posts on the savage, I have yet to see one of the newer ones though. Somewhere I thought I read about replacement barrels on them, different barrels easily replaced may be a future consideration.
