[QUOTE="ofdscooby, post: 1092449, member: 34470"] I just got out of all my Savage rifles but one and I will say they are a great way to cut your teeth in all this long range stuff but once I really wanted to start getting consistant past 700 yards I sold em and went custom. As far as which ones to stay away from I think that's a little up to you and what you want out of them. I had an older flat back 116 and it was pretty nice but I dumped a ton of money into it new trigger, trued, bot handle, lift kit, recoil lug, and a machined barrel nut. I also had a .243 with an action from a newer accu-trigger that I did almost nothing to and it shot great. Overall if your going to buy an out of the box gun and leave it at that I would get any of the newer 116's or any of the specialty models. If you want to tinker then find an older 3 screw flat back and go for it sky's the limit. There are also a ton of aftermarket stuff to do your self I've purchased several Stockade money saver stocks and a couple different barrels to play around with. I had a ton of fun messing around with Savages but at one point I just got sick of tinkering and wanted a great consistent shooter but the self taught knowledge you'll come away with at the end of your Savage journey will be priceless.
