IMHO, if you intend to leave it a factory rifle for ever, get a Tikka T3 lite. If you intend to have a platform for working with in the future, get a Rem SPS or a Savage.

You can't go wrong with a savage. They are accurate, good trigger and you can get custom replacement barrels very inexpensively.

thats what Ive been looking at a savage 110 dont know if I want to go new enough for the acutriger

IMHO, the accutrigger is about 50% of what makes a savage a good buy. If you don't get one w/ that trigger than you will just end up buying a different trigger for it in the future. Trigger pull is huge in accuracy.

ok then that what I needed to know

They changed the safety as well when they changed to the Accutrigger. It is much easier to work now with gloves on than pre-accutrigger. Another reason to get the Savage with the Accutrigger in my book.
