bwranch":3nhx9avi said:Don't know about the new trigger, but in my opinion you'll be hard pressed to find a more accurate "out of the box" rifle than the Savage, expecially when you consider the price. Just about the best stock barrels I have ever shot. I've got two, one in 30-06 and one in 7mm Mag, both will shoot sub MOA with factory loads. They look like be nice but I kind of like that because I don't feel too bad about tossing them around in the truck or scabard. They outshoot my Remingtons by far. I did have the triggers worked over though, they were rough as a cobb out of the box.

I classify it as pathetic. It wants to do better I think. A little carefull load development should solve it's problem.

I can't think of anyone that would classify that as pathetic. Elite snipers might classify it as worthy of improvement, but pathetic is definitely an overstatement.

I doubt you'll make a Weatherby look foolish, but I too prefer the Rem as a well made, straight shooting working man's rifle.

The only problem I have with Weatherbys is that they're too purty to beat up. My Mark XXII has some pretty fancy wood and the Athena is gorgeous.
On any given day my "favorite" ranges from an old original Winchester M1 Garand to a Contender with one of the wildcat barrels. But the Ruger 10/22 stnls synthetic lives on the mule 24/7. It's all that is required for snappers, possums, coons or hard shell possums and misc. stray cats. The only thing that requires more poop is coyotes, pretty much because of the range, and the occasional wandering pooch. I forgot the occasional turkey head shot at 100-150 yds, that calls for one of the Contenders.
