[QUOTE="liltank, post: 401306, member: 13275"] I am an avid Savage fan. Most guys will agree. These would be my pics. Don't let the list price scare you on the Savage web site. They sell for 100 to 200 dollars cheaper. My thoughts would be to look for some of these models used also. There are some out there that have the accu-trigger. They are all pillar bedded. Take some time and check them out. [url=http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/12VLP%20DBM]Savage Arms Firearms > 12 VLP DBM[/url] Own one, and is a very nice rifle for the money.
