I'm thinking about picking up a Savage model 11 heavy barrel in 308Win at my LGS. I work there and we just got in a used one that's in good shape. I work there part time and usually just trade my hours for guns and parts. Sweet deal for me. Any opinions on the rifle? I have a custom 6mm with a Hart stainless barrel and it shoots great, I'm just looking to go up in caliber.
Savage model 11?

Buy it, shoot it, and if you get tired of its configuration you can always upgrade it yourself. I just put a 243AI barrel on mine with a McMillan stock on order.

I have a Savage model 11 in 6.5 creedmoor, and so far the gun shoots awesome. The only complaint I have is their doen't seem to be many replacement stock options for this model and don't lose your magazine I saw those plastic mags cost $50 a piece!

I agree 100%! There is the B&C A2 that will fit though"

My opinion any stock over a B&C or lower price HS Precision is crazy to buy. I personally cannot see spending $600+ on a stock. They can't make the gun shoot that much better foe the money. It just becomes a "I have this stock" kind of thing to me. Once again this is my opinion.. How do the Boyd stocks compare to the B&C's?
