[QUOTE="777funk, post: 861806, member: 63638"] Curious of a few things: 1. Stainless Savages and accuracy vs standard steel 2. 16 vs other models (say 10, 11, 12, and the 110, 111). I don't care about pretty so much and am not interested in paying for anything but function out of a deer rifle / target gun. I'm considering a trade of a $350 - $400 gun for an older 16. It seems like the 10, 11, 110, 111 sells used for $450 tops around here and about $100 less if you watch. I have no idea what the 16's sell for used or how sought after they are so I'm curious on a price check. 3. This one is in 270 WSM. I did some quick reading and found reports of one guy not being able to work a good load up for his Savage 16 WSM. I don't know if this is a common problem or just one guy's experience. I'd honestly prefer .308 since it's more common and easier to get brass for. I'll be using it for deer and usually 500 yds or less. But groups on papaer are important or I wouldn't be looking a Savage. Half the fun of shooting is getting good groups. Thanks for any thoughts! [/QUOTE]
