[QUOTE="elkfirst, post: 107228, member: 3923"] I've had an old Savage mod. 99 in .308 many years ago, but we won't get into that. Last year I purchased a model 16FVSS - stainless fluted bull barrel, accutrigger in 22-250. I mounted a 6-24 x 50 scope that I bought on eBay for $50.00 (I'm ashamed to say). With factory Winchester Supremes, I consistently hit crows out to beyond 300 yards, my longest shot being 460 yards off the hood of the truck with my jean jacket as a shooting bag. Two weeks ago, I purchased a Weather warrior, another stainless in .270 WSM. Bought a couple of boxes of cheapo Remington 130 grain Core-Lockts. This thing is shooting 3/4" groups.....at 200 yards (with a 10 minute break between shots). Am I sold on Savage, you bet, they may not be the shiniest, but I can dig a gun that shoots like that off the shelf. My votes for best off the shelf shooters go to Savage, Tikka (pre T3 versions) and CZ (Brno). [/QUOTE]
