[QUOTE="nkyshooter, post: 2072924, member: 83787"] Love everyone of my Savage's ... all 10/110 platform ... "most" of them are glass smooth. However, my first one (pre-accutrigger, staggerfeed model, flat rear, 4.27" screw spacing, with a Fred Moreo trigger installed) while it is my most accurate (6mmBR ER Shaw Prefit - shoots in the .2's with 105 hunting vld), it is my least smooth due to the stagger feed. I wouldn't say "No" to another stagger feed but it would have to be a really really good deal since the centerfeeds are SO much smoother and the accutrigger has worked exceptionally well for me once I put in a lighter spring (easy job and takes the adjustment window to around 1-3 lbs - $7 spring). I've never had extractor issues with mine but I don't fire 2500 rounds a year either ... that might make a difference - but - with a $25 replacement, that is "almost" negligible to me. I also have Rem 700's ... don't hate them but I don't think they are any better than my savages ... and no, I didn't start with Savages ... I started on a glass smooth 1970's Rem 700 Varmint Special in 243 that an aspiring benchrest shooter had been building up for competition ... but truth be told, I hang on to it primarily because it was my first rifle ... most of my Savages are as or nearly as smooth as that "perfect" 700 ... my newer 700's are not as smooth as the savages I have - except for the stagger feed model - it feels like small marbles are in there fighting for position when I close it ... and no, it is not for sale :) Not only would I feel very confident hunting with a Savage - that is pretty much all I ever take hunting ... it has never even crossed my mind if it is reliable enough for hunting. NOTE: All the above is based on my experience solely with the Model 10/110 series Savages - I have zero experience with the Axis line. All that said - please move me to the front of the line of someone to "dump" those terrible Savages you have ... I'll gladly take and shoot them for the next 30 years and get them all smoothed up for ya! Please include primers ... 😁 [/QUOTE]
