[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 957474, member: 10429"] So I have the 116 in a 6.5er. It shoots well..1/2 inch groups. This is were I stopped at with my load. It has a 24inch barrel that is a mag contour. Its a stainless model. Barrel is floated, the stock seem to be stiff enough, it has the full length aluminum bedding block and the trigger is can be adjusted. I have mine at factory setting but it seem to be right about 2.7 pounds (measured) which is fine for me. Down fall of the savage seems there are not a lot of aftermarket parts like there is for Rems. I have another friend in Texas with a savage 243 and it shoot almost 1 hole groups. Price wise I think the 116 is right in there with most the other rifles of similar options. Another rifle to look at is the REM long range hunter. I have not purchased one but the store that carries them that I go to the guys that own them like them very well after a bead job has been done. They call it the poor mans sendero. As for the savage Accu stock, I do like the feel or the grip part on the stock, its not too bulky, also it has a nice recoil pad from the factory. I don't think the action is no where near as smooth as a Remington but it works. I think you really need to handle a lot of different gun types before buying and see what you like. There was not that many offerings for the 6.5 when I bought mine. Would I buy another...very much yes...Only down fall is I wish they offered a 26 inch barrel in the 7mag or the 300win mag then I would really like the rifle a whole lot more. I think this is my only complaint is it does not have a 26 inch barrel. [/QUOTE]
