[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 590354, member: 25383"] Guess many folks think that's a new sales deal, but it's really kinda old. I have one test target from around 1976, that's about 3/4" and another that's slightly over an inch from Weatherby. The first gun was bought when Weatherby touted sub one inch groups, and the other was later when they did 1.5" in the MK. V's. Cooper has been doing it for years in their high grade 22 rimfires (do not know if their centerfires come with a target). Savage has an accuracey rateing, but never saw a test target from them. Upto the advent of the Savage target grade rifles the leader was the Remington 40X. This was a day in day out thing, and you knew what you got when you opened the box it came in. Then Savage started showing up right on their doorstep with their varmit rifles. Then they did some changes in bedding and later trigger designs that allowed them to pass the mod. 40 series. After that they did another bedding redesign, and built a solid top action and the world was theirs for the asking. I suspect their next step is to go with a higher grade barrell from an outside source like Remington did. If I were shopping for an accurate rifle, and could buy a 40x for the price as a Savage, I would buy it. But you can't, and that's the nature of the beast here. gary [/QUOTE]
