[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 996383, member: 25383"] I will not try to compare a Savage with the Tikka I shot, as I think it would be totally unfair. The only bigger bore Savages I own are 99's, and all the others are 22-250's. Yet I will say that my 99's are solid 1.20" rifles (five shots in .300) with factory Winchester ammo. My worst 22-250 is a solid .31" rifle (5 shots of course). My other one shots .25" five shot groups right out of the box without even a trigger adjustment. I had another that would shoot low twos and a few high ones, but was stolen. That one had the old trigger, and factory bedding. On the otherhand, I never expect a 270 or 30 caliber to ever group anything like these rifles. The Tikka groups well enough, but so do the Howas and Remingtons. Brother inlaw has a Savage 116FSK (left handed) in 30-06. It shoots a tad over .50" five shot groups. The rifle with Federal Supremes shoots .65" groups. Has the old trigger. He loads with suspect dies ( has better ones, but not set up yet). Doesn't buy expensive bullets, and has maybe tried two kinds of powder. He also has a couple Rugers and Remingtons in bigger bores that shoot very well. gary [/QUOTE]
