[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1039516, member: 52437"] I forget but what caliber were you going for? Also...this is currently the only savage I have owned BUT my buddies have a bunch of savages and all have been at least MOA accurate. With a good amount of load development most have actually been below that with some closer to the .5MOA mark so don't discount that factory barrel if you do get the savage. It may be a great shooter out of the box! Now I don't want to get your hopes up either...if your ultimate goal is to have a benchrest competition type gun, then I honestly would probably not go the savage route. You will need a gun shooting some seriously awesome groups in the .1-.25 MOA range which would be very hard to do even in a modified savage. To be a serious competitor you will need a very tuned rifle. This would be like a custom blue printed Remington action with custom barrel and stock...etc. If your goal is to stay under 1 MOA out to 1000 yards then the savages will get you there! [/QUOTE]
