[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1206476, member: 74902"] Well, I'm a Savage guy, but for good reasons. They are definitely one of the more accurate out of the box factory rifles these days. Ruger makes a good entry level accurate rifle these days (Ruger American). But the IMO the Savage is more flexible with options etc. For example you can get Savage model above the entry level that have excellent stocks, triggers, and barrels. I would suggest looking at the savage Model 10 Predator Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor. Weight is 8.5 lb. This is due to a heavier varmint profile barrel and aluminum bedded stock (the Accustock). They are around $800.00 I shoot the Creedmoor. Great round for WV deer hunting and LR shooting. For a scope maybe the Vortex PST 4-16x50 Second Focal Plane for around $600.00. This scope has pretty good glass, and excellent reticle, and very accurate dialable turrets. If I wanted to put more money in this rig, I would put it in a higher end scope, maybe a Nightforce SHV or similar. I use the Vortex PST on a 300 RUM though and it does very well for me. It would be a one nice setup for a carryable rifle with excellent LR capabilities Lots of other options out there though. [/QUOTE]
