[QUOTE="Shane1, post: 908012, member: 30532"] Whoopty. This isn't an out of the box accuracy discussion. It's trade for savage or true and re-barrel a Remington. A trued rem with custom barrel is a no brainer. If you happen to like savage more power to ya. I've had many savages. They shoot good. Have all fouled terribly. Clean bore to fouled bore poa poi has always been moa+ off. Accuracy falls off fast from fouling as in 20-30 shots. Custom barrels I own go over 100 with no accuracy loss. Clean to fouled poi poa is within 1/2 moa. If it's a hunting gun it won't matter much if you don't mind cold bore shots being wild. If you don't mind the sloppy stiff clunky bolt and toy trigger they're great. They make fantastic starter guns. When your ready to experience the finer things in life do yourself a favor and shoot a custom or trued Rem with custom barrel. The last savage I own lrp 6.5 creed has shot a couple groups close to 1/4 moa. It also throws shots around 2 moa when it's clean for the first 5 then settles in for about 20 shots before opening back up to 1 moa+ from hideous copper fouling. Accurate as hell sometimes but inconsistent as you can get. For me I kinda like knowing I'll hit what I'm aiming at anytime, clean or dirty, cold or hot. I've never had that from any savage I've owned. Custom guns yes, re-barreled Remington yes. Can you get that from re-barreled savage probably but your still left with that nasty bolt and toy trigger. Keep the Remington true it up and re-barrel it. [/QUOTE]
