[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 996203, member: 22242"] I dont know how this thread is so old and I have not commented on it.. I have owned several savages played with a few that werent mine and same for Tikka. For tikka's obviously I really like them. they are simple, priced well reliable, very smooth, durable and the factory trigger is the best on the market as far as factors triggers go. I have a tikka 338 win and its my worst shooting tikka it shoots no better than 3/4 MOA typically between there and 1 MOA the rest of them that I own or have owned shoot under 1/2MOA easily. Savages.. I am not a fan.. HOWEVER the best shooting factory rifle I have ever built a load for was a 116 weather warrior that belongs to another member on here (magnumitis) it literall shot .1 and .2 with Barnes 180 Gr TTSX. I have owned a few savages that wouldnt shoot under an inch and 1 or 2 that shot 1/2 to 3/4 MOA I dont like the looks of them or the fit and finish. Savage has done some amazing things like the accustock, the floating bolt head etc.. just not my cup of tea. All of these were out of the box comparissons with nothing more than floating barrels if needed. I will also add that pretty much all Tikkas need floated or they are going to shoot like a factory remington (haha sorry remington guys) I own several Remingtons but none of them have remington barrels other than my 870... before the new barrels the 870 had the best groups [/QUOTE]
