Who owns a Savage Model 16 in .308?
Basically that is my question. Do you like the accutrigger (newer models)? How accurate is yours at 100 yds.Do you like the stainless over the blued models? Thanks for your replies as I'm looking for another rifle to add to the collection.

RE: Who owns a Savage Model 16 in .308?
I have the Savage Model 11LE, in .308Win. The Accutrigger is a great aid, in terms of getting better groups. I like the idea of being able to adjust the trigger by myself.
I am very conscious about reflected light spooking game, so I have never been a fan of stainless rifles. I especially think that stainless barrelled actions on camo stocks is rediculous. I, therefore, do prefer matt finishes on my metal and stock.
The Savage rifles are very accurate, especially if you handload. Both the .308Win and the 22-250 chambered Savage rifles that I own will perform better then any other rifle that I have fired and being an FFL dealer, I have been able to fire a fair number of rifles over the past 50 years.
