[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1858350, member: 109229"] Well, I’ll jump in here. Got Savages (3) and Coopers (3). IMHO, a Cooper, for all intents and purposes, is a semi-custom “production” rifle. I really like them and mine shoot very well. That said, they are not without their idiosyncrasies. The triggers are finiky to adjust and at least 2 of mine varied +/- 8 oz., until I had them taken care of. My next Cooper will have a Jewel or a Jard upgrade in it right out of the gate, if I get another one. As far as Savages are concerned, I have absolutely no complaints. Accutriggers are far from glamorous, but IMHO have a reliability and functionality about them that lends to great shooting. Attached is a pic of a 6.5-284 from the Savage Custom Shop and the accuracy it is capable of with a standard Accutrigger. Anyway, my contribution to this 12 year old thread is that you can still get a production 1/4 minute shooter out of the box if you are a handloader. Odds for this go up If you buy a good Savage with an Accutrigger. That said, if I was in the market for a .22-250 right now it would be a Sako 85 Varmint stainless laminate with a set trigger😁!!
