Title: Savage 16 Lightweight vs. 11 Lightweight
Post by: HereDuckyDucky on November 19, 2015, 03:19:17 PM: Why the big price difference between the Savage 16 Lightweight (SS/Syn) and the 11 Lightweight (Blue/Walnut)? Is the wood really jacking the price up that much?

I can find 16 Lights for right around $500 but can't seem to find an 11 Light for under $650.

They both have accutrigger there both off the same action with the same fluting.. The only thing I can see is maybe the wood stock is an accustock or bedded and the sythetic is not? For my money I would go with the 16 and still allows you to put a different stock on if you wanted and be under the price of the 11.. Really tempted to pick up a 16 in .270..
