Title: Which Savage?
Post by: Emptyhanded on February 16, 2009, 04:33:22 PM: I am going to sell my Youth Remington Model 7 .243 and buy a new .243 and i think i have settled on a Savage. I don't know a lot about Savages but i know i want one with the Accu-trigger. It seems like they make tons of models and i am not sure where to start. So i am wondering which model you guys would reccommend. I want a synthetic stock also. Thanks A lot.

My brother is selling a Remington 700 243 adl with the camo synthetic stock. He just bought it and has only shot it a few times. He is getting ready to move. I'm not sure what he wants but I think around 400-425.

How much are you asking for the Remington Youth? Or is it already sold?

Stevens 200 rifles do not have the AccuTrigger but they are some real good shooters right out of the box. There are several shooters that go this route due to, just as you mentioned, the additional cost of paying for the accutrigger. You can put a Rifle Basixs trigger in the 200 and have a great shooter. Then later on, screw on a Douglas Air Gauged barrel and a better stock from SSS http://www.sharpshootersupply.com/ and you are good to go.
