[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1092611, member: 10291"] Most of my experience is with the later model, heavier barreled Savages with the Accutrigger. I own a 6.5x284 LRH, 260 LRP, and 22-250 Predator. Interestingly, these rifles as well as a couple of 22 rimfires were won(some raffles, some for score) at competitive shoots over the last several years Savage was sponsoring shoots on a regular basis here in the Northeast. Generally, most of my rifles are custom/semi custom. When I got the first one, the LRH, I didn't have very high expectations but was pleasantly surprised. With the exception of a little sanding of the barrel channel to free float the LRH and Predator, I haven't made any modifcations. With 400-800 rounds through each of them, they all have been consistent performers with excellent accuracy. The LRH and LRP are capable of .25 MOA out at 500 yards. I have several shooting buddies that have had similar experiences. At least with the heavy barrel models, I don't think it is so much a question of which one not to buy. I think it's more about acquiring a representative example. While it seems rare with the Savages, we have seen some examples that didn't shoot well. This is the bane of the factory rifle.IMO.
