Have you checked the Action screws, Scope mounts, tried different bullets out of it? Taking it to a gunsmith might be cheaper then a new gun....but new guns are fun.
Just my
:yeah:
Browning if he's going to buy another gun. There is nothing wrong with a savage and they are accurate but that's about all you can say about them. :twocents:

There's no reason a gun should shoot 5" groups. My advice: (1) have someone else shoot the gun and see what type of groups he gets; this may be the issue or you can eliminate the shooter from the possible list of causes; (2) check all screws; (3) if you have another scope, replace the one on the gun and eliminate that from consideration; (4) check the bedding: if the gun is free floated you should be able to run a dollar bill under the barrel and not touch the stock. A poor bedding job can cause havoc.
After that, go buy a new gun!

If that doesn't work my vote is for the x bolt.

Nothing wrong with a savage... but I would get the xbolt :twocents:
Savage makes some very accurate and functional rifles, they just tend to be "no frills". Browning on the other hand tends to be much more aesthetically pleasing and have that extra little something that makes them REALLY nice but you will pay for that. Either way I'm guessing you will be happy because who doesn't get excited when you buy a new toy? :dunno:
Forgot to add...my choice??? Browning.

Got the browning in 270 wsm. Awesome gun. Shot forty rounds to break in and after 30 rounds was hitting an 8" steel plate every time 10 for 10 at 600 meters, with a Burris ballistic plex 3-9x40 . :tup:
................isn't that like 200 yards ?? :chuckle:
