I have only owned 1 Savage Rifle. It was a 7MM MAG. If you plan to shoot more than a few rounds a year or target (varmit) shoot, pick a higher end rifle. I was disappointed in the accuracy and feel of the rifle after just a few hundred rounds. I took it to a gunsmith and he said that the action had already been worked on, he could not help it and to buy a better gun. For long shots or a high use rifle go to a better model.
I was TOTALLY impressed with my Remington 788. Thousands of hand loads (some only 5% below max) later it shoots like a dream. 4" groups at 400 yards while freestanding.
If you are shooting deer or large game at a reasonable distance you should be OK. I will not own another Savage.
