[QUOTE="just browsing, post: 1053505, member: 87559"] Savages are very prone to accuracy regardless of the model. Any of the models you listed are going to be shooters out of the box. As far as shooting it goes... I really like it. The only problem that I've really run into is getting a good cheek weld with medium height scope rings. I need to order a Karsten rest or something similar so it fits me better. Otherwise, I have no complaints. I adjusted the accutrigger down to about 2.5 lbs. and left it. As far as recoil goes, I'd say that it's pretty manageable. Being a heavy rifle, it feels like it absorbs a lot of the force. I'm not going to sit here and tell you it's not a heavy hitter though because it definitely let's you know you're shooting a .300. I'm considering putting a brake on it for quicker follow up engagement and tracking the bullets at longer ranges but I haven't made up my mind yet, definitely wouldn't say that it's needed to manage the recoil. You're going to be happy with any of those rifles you have listed. The 110 FCP HS Precision is a good bet, though I don't know how good it would be for hunting applications. Maybe check out the Model 12 Long Range Precision too? The hardest part is making the actual decision, a good part is that you'll be satisfied with all of your options. [/QUOTE]
