Savage rifles (newer models)

[Coasthunterjay]

Ok i am looking at peoples opinions and information on what they know about savage rifles.....Im not just talking about the smaller varmit rounds but for BIG game use.....

#1) What type of savage do you have and..........

#2) Why do you like it or................ why do you not like it?

Whats not to like about a Savage rifle?
I have several all non accutrigger models though. Also have several extra barrels that I swap out myself with out taking to a gunsmith. All are very accurate, and triggers are easy to adjust. The Stevens Rifle is made by Savage and the same action and barrels as the older non-accutrigger just a little less priced. I have never had a problem with any of my Savage rifles.

For an out of the box, straight shooting inexpensive rifle they can not be beat.  Love the Accu-Trigger feature.

I have 2 - 300wsm 111 / 116  I also have a  1 111 / 243 Heavy Barrel.

My latest 300 wsm is in stainless with an adjustable muzzle break and detachable clip.  I added a mercury recoil suppressor system in the stock and a through on a Kickeez.  it shoots like a BB Gun lol

I got them all in the blk synth stock and did my own camo.

I give them a

i own a savage 116,,black sytnt, ss.... 338,, it is a fine gun. mine has a blind magazine, which i prefer.. not an accutrigger model,, but it doesnt matter as the trigger is smooth, ungritty.. weighs 7 lbs without scope.. i painted teh metal olive drab.. it is a fine dependable rifle,, only one gripe....not a claw extractor rifle,,

Joking on the BB gun thing,  however, aside from the sound there isn't much difference between the 243 ans the 300 wsm with all the features. 

I would take the Savage everyday.  Not a real Rem fan.  I am hard on my equipment and am more of a user than a collector.

Savage Model 10 in 243/Accutrigger. Very cool little rifle. Had it just one year. No kills yet, was hoping my son will kill his first deer with it this year. Amazingly accurate and fun gun to shoot. I will be carrying it on my son's first turkey hunt, to dump any yotes with...

I hunt with a Savage model 110 / 300 Win Mag. I am not a big Rifle guy and no expert by anymeans but this rifle seems to work great for me I shoot great groups with Federal premium and it seems like a durable gun too. The only problem I did have however was I noticed while cleaning it one day that the gun fired while on Safe. Took it to Mike Palazzo and found out that a little pin had lost the lock washer holding it on and had slipped out. So I allways check my Safe now before I load it!

Jay- heres a shot of my set up!

Like I said I'm no expert but I seem to kill everything I'm aiming at, and that's all that counts!

In the last 6 months I bought a 338 Win Mag Savage Weather Warrier (model 116, matte stainless with black synthetic stock). I haven't done anything to it yet other than shoot it. I am working on some hunting loads right now. But so far, for the price, it is a great gun out of the box. I am getting right at about 1 minute of angle a 100yds (if I do my part). I think I am going to acraglass it in to the stock and hopefully improve that a little. Great gun!! I like the newer accutriger they have on them, nice and crisp.

I've had a few Savages over the years. A few months ago I sold a pre-'36 Savage Super sporter in .30-30. Trigger had one of the fastest lock times,Savage had a name for it but don't remember. Have a Savage Stevens Model 72 Crackshot .22, the remake of a Stevens Favorite, (a grouse killin' machine), and I have a Model 24F, .30-30 over 12Ga., both barrels print point of aim at 100 yds. I don't have any real modern Savages but I would not hesitate to purchase one in a heartbeat if I was lookin'. I guess you could call this an endorsement from a gun nut. Keep your powder dry.Liberty.

I have two stevens 200s one in 300 win mag one in 223 super accurite with good scopes and a little trigger work. for the price you will not beat a 200.

Very accurate out of the box, durable and tough, reasonably priced- I love Savage and have no qualms about buying one.
