Don't forget about Winchester. Bought my son a Winchester package gun from Walmart and it is a very good shooting gun. Had to adjust the trigger and finish sighting the scope in. He just loves his 270. It should last him a lifetime.

Savages have the most accurate barrel out of the box and are very accurate rifles. That being said I don't care for them because their bolts are wobbly and triggers stiff. Everything you mentioned, Ruger, Win, Remington, etc. are fine accurate guns and you won't go wrong w/any of them. It all depends on how they feel to you. For me, the best gun out of the box and the one that points and shoots the best is the Encore. I can't describe how comfortable the gun is, it is something that you have to feel.

tonyg welcome to the board!!!!The rifle can only be as accurate as the shooters are!I agree you need a accurate rifle but it's up to the shooter to make it perform.With that said I like my Ruger's, Remington's etc,etc etc...............Ruger Redhawk

I've been thinking about this question.
Uh Oh
Actually I can't think of a production rifle in a bolt action that doesn't shoot better than most people do. All of my rifles shoot better than me.

BrandonT,
I just picked the gun up yesterday so I haven't be able to take it back home to try it out yet. As far as the scope, it's nothing special. I think it's something made specifically for Savage because I can't find any reference to it on Simmons' site. Like I said in my original post, it will do for now until I can pony up for a better one. I think the gun is worth the money regardless.
